Plicaris is an Australian company providing advanced data and AI solutions. 

Plicaris has developed ZoneCrypt™, a software system enforcing cryptographic multi-dmensional access control. Utilising a proprietary multidimensional cryptographic data management system,  powered by the HYPLICA™ spatiotemporal AI - Discrete Global Grid System (AI-DGGS), Plicaris encodes sensitive digital information by cryptographically binding data to strictly authorized multi-factor credentials, to prevent unauthorized data recovery by any method - even if the encrypted data is intercepted.

ZoneCrypt advantage

Transporting securely encrypted data using public open channels carries significant risk. That data is typically most exposed at two points: 

1. when information must cross non-assured communication bearers, such as: commercial data networks, email networks, coalition links, or through physical transport pathways. 

2. when an encryption device is deliberately captured, accidentally forgotten, and or physically lost.

Conventional encryption only helps provided the associated encryption cannot be defeated.  However,  

Multidimensional cryptographic authentication

ZoneCrypt enforces cryptographic spatiotemporal access control, so data decryption depends on several completely independent credentials coinciding: 

(a) User access authorization credentials.

(b) uniquely encoded multidimensional artefact credentials.

(c) a User’s authorized position in place and in time. 

ZoneCrypt enforces mandatory security credentials, instead of traditional policy gates. 

Underlying technologies

ZoneCrypt uses symmetric cryptographic algorithms for authenticated encryption, memory-hardened credentials, key derivation, and is Post-Quantum Cryptography Resistant (PQCR). ZoneCrypt's authentication and authorization failure modes are all deliberately uniform, so a wrong credential, position, time or a tampered ciphertext, all fail identically, which means an adversary gains absolutely zero signal to iterate against, using all available computationally powerful and sustained methods.

HYPLICA provides unprecedented performance speeds in multidimensional data storage, search, and retrieval. HYPLICA combines an enormous number of data dimensions, to uniquely encode an unlimited range of universal addresses for any position and moment in spacetime, with extreme spatial and temporal precision, ranging from sub-nanometer to galactic-scale.

Consequently, ZoneCrypt's user access-denial response is not only triggered by incorrect file access credentials, but is also triggered by incorrect HYPLICA derived location credentials, so authenticated decryption simply fails if any cryptographic or spacetime credentials are incorrect. HYPLICA’s cryptographic key is only ever derived at the correctly authorised place and time, so no key ever exists in advance to be released, intercepted, or stolen. 

Applications

ZoneCrypt runs entirely standalone, requiring no internet connections. This means ZoneCrypt can be used for applications including:

• Email file exchanges.

• Laptops and computer desktops.

• USB devices.

• Transportable hard drives.

• Hierarchical  storage management systems.

• Data warehouses.

• Air-gapped and denied environments

• Any environment where extreme and perpetual data protection is demanded. 

Even an adversary holding a ZoneCrypt file, with total knowledge of all the proprietary algorithms and unlimited quantum computer resources, cannot recover plaintext data without simultaneously obtaining every independent credential and being present at the authorized place and time, which is a conjunction that is logistically infeasible to satisfy or falsify in practice.

The effect on an adversary attempting to access ZoneCrypt data is direct and absolute, as any intercepted, captured, or exfiltrated digital data, always and forever yields zero exploitable intelligence.

Integration and interfaces

Rather than replacing existing corporate cryptographic measures and security policies, ZoneCrypt extends them, adding spatiotemporal conditions on top of standard protection of data held at rest and in transit. ZoneCrypt operates at the data and application layer on existing IT equipment endpoints, and requires only very basic training to use, provided in a brief user manual.

Security considerations

ZoneCrypt is sovereign, wholly Australian-owned, trade secret IP, suitable for OFFICIAL data in transit and at rest. ZoneCrypt’s responsibility boundary is governed by decryption tied to: User, position, and time credentials; so defining the credentialed authorization boundaries remains a User responsibility. Once secured data is lawfully decrypted from ZoneCrypt, that data passes beyond ZoneCrypt’s control.
