End-to-end Data Encryption In Transit and at Rest in the Cloud and on Endpoints with Keys Created and Controlled by You


Secure Your Data with Your Own Keys but Still Use Your Favorite Apps #

VPNs and SDNs only protect data in transit.

Thanks to our endpoint device-based Key Factory controlled by YOU, you can securely distribute and manage keys with your private Faction Networks to protect your communications and data both in transit at rest across users, devices and Web servers – even in other applications – with bullet-proof AES 256 encryption.

  • Faction your EmailIt’s like PGP on steroids!Use your favorite email application, but encrypt the contents of your messages with your own key.You can use Faction for privacy with any native email application that uses X.509 certificates. These are just a few examples.You can use Gmail – or any Web mail server – with your device-native applications and will have the same protection. Web extensions for Gmail and other Webmail applications are coming soon.

Your Personal X.509 Certificate #

Faction generates an X.509 Certificate with YOUR key, so YOU are the certificate authority. This eliminates all the vulnerabilities of centralized repositories and control in the certificate system.

  • Faction OwnerCreates and controls the key and is the Certificate Authority
  • Faction Key FactoryCreates unlimited numbers of keys controlled by Faction Owner
  • Faction Key ManagerDistribution, rotation and other management of keys.
  • Faction NetworkEnsure the privacy and security of all key operations
  • Personal X.509 CertificateOnly YOU create and control the certificate that protects your email

Faction your Cloud #

DriveUse your favorite cloud drive but encrypt the contents of your files – or entire – folders with your own key.Then just use your Cloud drive as normal for back-up, restoration and sharing – but know that only you and your authorized Faction members can decrypt and open anything!

Faction P-Drop #

It’s like AirDrop on steroids!Enjoy all of the convenience of Airdrop with none of the constraints. Direct, peer-to-peer file transfer between devices that works cross platform – in the same room or across the world.


Faction Drive & File Sharing #

For Complete Privacy and Control #

COMING SOON

When you use a Faction with a 3rd party email or cloud drive application, we can keep all of the contents of your files and folders encrypted and private. But all of your activity, user data and metadata on the Web is most definitely NOT private.

For complete invisibility and privacy combined with total flexibility and control, use Faction Drive and File Sharing where all of your communications and data transport go over your Faction PPN.

Choose What’s Best for You #

On Premise #

Is a gateway to local Faction Network of devices wherever it is located

With Faction Pods, you securely connect and share any NAS or other local storage to any users or devices in your Faction network.

Your data is all stored there but can be shared via Web links just like any Cloud drive.

Cloud #

As always, only YOU have the keys on your endpoint devices – NEVER in the Cloud – to access and decrypt your data.

Or we can provide hosted storage on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure.

Private Cloud integration options are available – please contact us.


Faction Works the Way You Use the Internet #

The Faction Key Factory, together with our proprietary virtual routers, powers unlimited granularity, flexibility and scalability of encryption to meet 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.

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.
