Faction Makes True E2EE Easy

Thanks to your Faction Network, Key Factory and Manager, you have the ability to encrypt data at ALL TIMES


What About Securing Data? (Oops) #

Not just VPNs, but all of the solutions to secure communications and networking today ignore securing the data itself. The data just lies around decrypted on cloud servers and endpoint devices, waiting for the next breach.

Faction was founded and designed to change that. Thanks to the Faction PPN – and its device-based Key Factory controlled by YOU – Faction can also protect your data both in transit at rest across users, devices and 3rd party applications.


If You Want Privacy, You Must Encrypt at All Times

Everybody knows this, but almost nobody does it – except in narrow use cases or complex and expensive Enterprise solutions requiring support from IT. If we are going to restore privacy in the digital, networked age, then end users must be able take an active role in the encryption and protection of their data starting at the endpoint devices they control.

But Its Too Damn Hard!

Here’s the problem:

  • Data encryption platforms and methods used today are complex and have poor UX.So people don’t use encryption widely or systematically to protect their data.So the hackers and the surveillance information complex win.

Faction Makes It Easy

Faction eliminates the pain points of encryption for end users, developers and IT staff, so it can be USED widely and systematically to protect data both in transit and at rest on devices, the cloud and even in 3rd party applications.


How Faction Delivers Data Privacy and Security #

It All Starts with Your Faction Network #

Your Faction Network provides a completely secure way to distribute and manage symmetric keys between devices and users in Faction Groups

Faction Key Factory #

The Faction Key Factor enables unlimited granularity and flexibility in the use of encryption keys with no overhead for end users

  • Device only needs to manage one private key locallyBut Faction can generate and share keys between endpoints with no limits on scale or granularity.Flexes to whatever is the use case and customer need

Faction Key Manager #

Faction handles key distribution, rotation and all other headaches of key management so that it just works without the end user – or IT Staff – having to think about it.  

Importantly, these are symmetric AES 256 keys, which have many advantages for scalability, persistence and reduced load on endpoint devices.

This enables encryption to be USED widely and systematically to protect data both in transit and at rest on devices, the cloud and even in 3rd party applications.

Personal X.509 Certificate (Email) #

When data is stored and transmitted inside of Faction Networks, then the keys are distributed, managed and protected at all times inside of your Faction Groups.

But people also want to be able to communicate and share data with others using apps like email and cloud drives. Since YOU control the keys and their distribution, the Network Owner can also be his own certificate authority – protecting your data wherever it goes so. Only you and the members of your Faction Groups can decrypt their contents and attachments.


. . . With Scalability and Persistence #

The Faction Key Factory, together with our proprietary virtual routers, powers unlimited granularity, flexibility and scalability of encryption to address any use case

Scalable #

Not just voice, messages and email – video, streaming data and files of any size, volume and throughput.

Flexible #

Secure devices, networks or private groups of users – and messages, files and any data exchanged between them.

Granular #

The Faction Key Factory enables unlimited granularity and volume of encryption keys to flex to any use case.


Try Faction for Free #

Don’t take our word for it. You can try and use Faction at no cost right now to start protecting the privacy and security of your networking, communications and data.


Faction Puts You in Control #

Faction can’t fix everything. But it can give you back a sphere of security and privacy for your networking, devices and data that is controlled always and only by you and the people that your authorize.

Private and Secure #

Faction Networks are encrypted and completely invisible and inaccessible on the Internet.

Easy #

Set up in minutes, use the Internet and applications as you always do.

Controlled by You #

Only YOU create and control the keys for your Faction Network, Groups, Devices and Members.
