OneGUARD announces the release of Mercury Messenger
What is OneGUARD® Mercury Messenger™?
OneGUARD® Mercury Messenger™, powered by Identiblock™, is a direct replacement for your corporate email using the blockchain revolution. It delivers privacy and security to privileged communications through the use of a combination of multiple, secure cryptographic keys combined with the validation of the sender and receiver of each and every message through the unique, (patent pending) Identiblock™ identity management platform, where “you are the source of your own identity”™.
What is wrong with email?
Email is the most successful federated communication network ever built, however, its foundation is 40 years old and it was never intended to operate in an uncontrolled environment such as the modern internet. Various attempts over the 40 years since email’s creation have been made to retrospectively authenticate, secure, and verify email, all of which have failed in varying degrees.
This lack of a secure email foundation has led to today’s situation, where almost 50% of the 281 billion emails exchanged globally each day are spam. These same foundational flaws have led email to become the number one vector for delivering malware. Other studies have identified that this malware, on average, costs small and medium enterprise (SMEs) over $2 million per year in consequential economic damage.
What does OneGUARD® Mercury Messenger™ do differently?
OneGUARD® Mercury Messenger™ is able to:
• assure that only the intended party can read the content of the message,
• confirm that the sender of the message is whom they claim to be, and
• provide a secured backup of all your communications where an actual copy of a previous message can be retrieved at any time, even if your messaging infrastructure breaks down.
All this is made possible through the exclusive use of the (patent pending) innovation Identiblock™ which:
• confirms the identity of the sender and receiver using 3rd party provided digital identities such as those issued by governments, banks, professional associations, etc,
• confirms the blockchain identity of the sender and receiver, and
• uses a third, unrelated internet based identity to securely link the 3rd party and blockchain identities together, thus confirming the relationship between the first two identities.
