Favorite line in the whole thing "Some of the fundamental security features made available (e.g. full field encryption, randomization through IVs, etc.) were disabled because we were not comfortable sharing such IP on the internet while our patents are still pending"

So, apparently they are going to be patenting padding/randomization in encryption and "full field encryption". Our patent system at work for obvious things.

May be honest, it's just very convenient. "That demo we have on our site to show off the technology? It's really crippled and doesn't actually show off the technology... We promise the real thing actually works! Oh, you want to hear about the DMCA takedown? That was just our legal team, you know how they can be!"

And would be happy to have a full and frank discussion about the way our system works.... as long as you sign this NDA!

Everything they do is destroying their reputation. Unfortunately, only among a few people who would have been suspicious anyway.
