New data encryption algorithm

Massachusetts, USA (MIT Technology review): Voltage has developed a next-generation cryptography technique that simplifies the secure transmission of data, including emails, files, documents, and instant messages. Voltage's approach, known as identity-based encryption (IBE), is positioned as an improvement over public key infrastructure (PKI), which has never enjoyed wide popularity because of its complexity, implementation difficulties, and lack of standards. Voltage's algorithm, known as Boneh-Franklin IBE, simplifies the architecture for encrypting information by eliminating the need for certificates and complex infrastructure. The technology uses a common identity, such as an email address, as a public key, instead of long strings of numbers.
