Ubiq Security has launched an API-based encryption platform for developers. The company says encryption can be added to an application with a few lines of code and two calls using its application programming interface, or API. Among the early adopters are the US Army, the US Department of Homeland Security, and Verizon. Developers often don’t have the specific knowledge of encryption libraries, algorithms, or the security architecture necessary to protect their data in the application, says CEO Wias Issa. StrongSalt, a firm started by an engineer from FireEye, debuted its own encryption-as-a-service platform last December.”]
