Business teams can securely store and share files with proof that their data remains intact.

Singapore, February 15, 2011 — GuardTime, creator of the patented Keyless Signature™ technology used to validate the world’s data, and ftopia, a global provider of cloud-based data collaboration and storage services, today announced apartnership that enables businesses to securely share their files without relying on trust as a means to validate the integrity of their data.

GuardTime’s Keyless Signature technology provides proof of signing authority, time of the signature, and lifelong integrity for data stored in the cloud or in transit between business collaborators. The signature never expires and its verification is based solely on mathematics, eliminating the need for secrets or keys and the unwieldy management associated with traditional PKI technologies that fail in the cloud.

With GuardTime’s Keyless Signatures technology integrated within ftopia’s secure rooms, businesses will be able to:
* Securely store their data online with undeniable proof of integrity, eliminating the need to rely on trust
* Safely share and synchronize their content with other people, providing evidence that the content has not been changed since it was lastshared
* Convert their data stored in the cloud into safe, tamper-evident data archives

“Organizations are often leery of storing their data in the cloud or sharing their data with other people. However, with the GuardTime-enabled ftopia secure rooms, we eliminate the need for businesses to blindly trust the integrity of their content by delivering proof that no content changes have been made since the files were uploaded,”said Philippe Honigman, Founder and CEO of ftopia. “Integrating GuardTime’s Keyless Signature technology into the ftopia service fulfills the otherwise unanswered need of provable security for businesses interested in using cloud-based services for storage and collaboration.”

“The integration of our unique Keyless Signature technology withinthe ftopiacollaboration and storage service answers the most pressing question facing the cloud computing industry-how can businesses trust their data in the cloud,” said Mike Gault, CEO of GuardTime. “The answer is they don’t have to, as cloud service providers such as ftopiacan now provide proof of data integrity for the content stored within any GuardTime-enabled secure storage location. Furthermore, with the GuardTimeKeyless Signature by its side, the proof of integrity follows the data wherever it goes, even when shared outside anftopiasecure room.”

The GuardTime-enabled secure storage and collaboration service is available immediately as an add-on to any of the paid Standard or Enterprise plans offered by ftopia.
