Geneva, New York 28th March 2014 – Good news for the Internet community, a new service provided by WISeKey in cooperation with Swisscom is now fully available for Mac, Windows, and Android users. Users can register at http://wiseid.com/ and download the software allowing them to encrypt and store personal data on private clouds. WISeKey is a world leader in solutions designed to cybersecurity, digital identification, secure electronic transactions and now it is expanding its offering by adding secure cloud services from Switzerland in cooperation with Swisscom using Swiss DataCenters and Swiss Alps Mountain bunkers to store the personal data generated by users and enterprises using the service.
The first e-security company in the world to offer decentralized Trust Models and PKI architecture, WISeKey allows data ecosystems to be federated via a unique digital Identity that makes users interact while maintaining control of their personal data.
With this new personal cloud alternative gone are the days of huge centralized clouds and ID meta systems with no respect to personal data. The trend WISeKey is creating is motivating users and enterprises to develop Personal Clouds. Personal Clouds moves the gravity center to users, who retake the control of their personal data and benefit from leveraging local data centers, increased security and trust models, and adding digital identification technologies to provide trusted secure services while maintaining their neutrality and independency. The WISeKey Personal Cloud project is integrated into WiseID.com and was early announced this year at the World Economic Forum at Davos and portrayed by Bloomberg TV http://www.bloomberg.com/video/zone-of-mobile-privacy-secured-in-the-swiss-alps-pDXsw7qdRkKk95koRT4~hw.html demonstrating the importance for WISeKey is using Swiss Alps mountain bunkers to storage personal data now directly from users’ desktops.
