CertiVox looks to the PrivateSky with beta launch of encryption platform

PrivateSky S.I.X. uses patent-pending Incognito keys and 'certificateless' encryption technology for an integrated key management functionality that encrypts a user's data on any platform or device before it's moved to the cloud for storage and use.
