Privacy and Security

The defining characteristic of the Internet is rapidly becoming that of a giant network of trickery and deceit. Everyone knows the Internet was never designed for privacy and security. Web servers are expected to respond to requests from anyone. Browsers are expected to resolve resources when pointed to any website. This any-to-any architecture is riddled with vulnerabilities. Browsers are sandwiched between the user’s platform and DNS, each facing an onslaught of their own. Some vulnerabilities are not even discoverable. The typical and most expedient response to the discovery of each new vulnerability has been to simply patch over symptoms of an inherently insecure system. This approach results in a steady increase in system complexity which in turn makes vulnerabilities even harder to find. Emergent Web Spaces is the result of a system design approach to solving difficult problems. Only a system design approach can deliver technology to protect your website and other online content, even if a platform and network are already compromised.

Application

Countless agencies and individuals can design your website. Some may even host your website for you. The trouble starts as soon as your website becomes accessible on the Internet. Education, Healthcare and Research sectors have unique requirements for the secure delivery and presentation of online content. These same sectors are facing a rapidly intensifying barrage of sophisticated attacks. If you depend on ordinary websites or social media to deliver online content, it’s like forcing students and staff to walk through dangerous neighborhoods to get to school. Emergent Web Spaces protects both you and your visitors with privacy and security that is inherent in the design. This means that many vulnerabilities plaguing older technology become irrelevant. Protect your research and development investment from attackers. Don’t allow sensitive healthcare records to be stolen or destroyed. Emergent Web Spaces is a powerful new web platform that will keep bad things from happening to you.

Performance

It is often thought that performance must be made to suffer on behalf of improved privacy and security. Consider the terrible performance experienced by privacy advocates when using the Tor browser together with a VPN. Threats posed by advances in computing power will likely cause security to take a hit when RSA is replaced. Lower security margins will be deemed acceptable if only to offset poorer performance. Emergent Web Spaces is the result of our system design approach to solving several, difficult problems. Emergent Web Spaces provides information-theoretic security that is easier to understand, more easily proven and easier to implement correctly. At the same time, Emergent Web Spaces improves performance with an object resolver that is 3 to 4 times faster than hardware accelerated AES. Emergent Web Spaces delivers your website or other online content with unmatched privacy and security, even while improving performance.

Emergent Web Spaces don’t use DNS and don't need web servers. Emergent Web Spaces are not location-based and don’t have paths such as URLs. Webpages can be given any name you wish, and without first registering and paying fees to global organizations. Websites in Emergent Web Spaces cannot be seized, hacked, defaced, shutdown or blocked. Every webpage is resolved separately in its own Emergent Web Space. Visitors experience high performance with unmatched privacy and security.

Emergent Web Spaces reduce complexity and eliminate complex and expensive protection services.
Emergent Web Spaces protect visitors from typosquatting, combosquatting and homograph attacks.
Emergent Web Spaces and websites are impervious to all penetration methods and tools.
Emergent Web Spaces prevent browser hijacking, drive-by downloads and redirection attacks.

Emergent Web Spaces are information-theoretic domains in which websites and other content are resolved from blocks of random data that have emergent properties. Blocks of random data are not parts or shares and cannot otherwise be operated on to reveal original information. Emergent Web Spaces do not depend on cloud providers for privacy and security, and are fully decoupled for cloud economics but without cloud lock-in. Websites can be created and existing websites can be moved to Emergent Web Spaces.

Emergent Web Spaces don’t use DNS and are unaffected by DNS vulnerabilities.
Emergent Web Spaces eliminate IDOR vulnerabilities and resulting data theft.
Emergent Web Spaces are unaffected by a corrupt X.509 certificate chain-of-trust.
Emergent Web Spaces eliminate web server-related CORS and XSS vulnerabilities.

Resolvers are bound to one or more zones of true quantum randomness. A single zone may host billions of unique websites. A zone binds the same resolver to a host process that generated the block of random data corresponding to a web resource. For each web resource, the resolver takes a unique path through the zone. Because zones are ergodic, each path exhibits the same properties as the zone. Authentication is inherent in the resolver process.

Resolvers are not vulnerable to side-channel attacks such as timing and power analysis.
Resolvers protect privacy and security even against attackers with full system knowledge.
Resolvers prevent forged packets and are immune to spoofing and hijacking MITM attacks.
Resolvers eliminate vulnerabilities associated with protecting stored secrets such as keys.

Mission

Budgets are tighter than ever, even as sophisticated cyber attacks become relentless. It’s no wonder that many leaders in education, healthcare and research are becoming resigned to breaches. After spending and hiring to protect their systems, vulnerabilities remain. The future may appear bleak, but we’re excited about Emergent Web Spaces and determined to defeat attackers to deliver your online content securely and privately while protecting your visitors.

For more than a decade, we have been designing and developing hardware and software for Emergent File Systems, a revolutionary technology that protects data from attacks which often defeat every other technology. Emergent Web Spaces is a powerful new web platform that can protect your website and other online content from the most advanced attacks. It is not another browser, plugin or scanning and detection application. Emergent Web Spaces is the result of our system design approach to solving difficult problems. We don’t patch over symptoms and we don’t suffer performance to improve security. No crude whitelisting or blacklisting. No VPN, Tor network or blockchain stuff.
