CertiVox has unveiled a Web 2.0 security service to protect, track and distribute valuable documents, as well as making it possible for individuals to monetise their documents and other media.

The CertiVox system is available in both free and premium formats, so anyone can protect, deliver, track, control and monetise their valuable documents and media.

CertiVox said that with its system there was no need for "expensive managed file transfer or digital rights management systems". Its system uses "folding key encryption technology to bring ease of use" to the content protection and secured content delivery markets, with integration "with the most popular social networks and business applications".

According to a recent global survey by RSA Security, nearly two-in-three people who use social networking sites indicated they are less likely to interact or share information due to growing security concerns. Additionally, four out of five people using social networking websites were concerned for the safety of their personal information. This is one market the CertiVox encryption technology is aimed at.

The CertiVox system also provides post-delivery control, branding, tracking and audit capabilities, allowing users to know what is happening to their documents and media after it is sent, and even control access to the content after it is delivered.

CertiVox also enables targeted branding campaigns to be run on top of the distributed protected content, thereby enabling additional revenue streams for digital media publishers.

CertiVox CEO Brian Spector said, "We envision a wide range of business professionals taking advantage of CertiVox, ranging from those within global manufacturers to authors of user generated content; from lawyers to sales professionals, within firms of all sizes."

CertiVox could appeal to:

• Lawyers who need to protect the information they send to clients
• Accountants who are worried about protecting information in accordance with financial regulations
• Health care professionals who must protect patient data
• Consultants who must protect their clients' sensitive data
• Financial services workers who need to protect customer data
• Engineers worried about protecting their intellectual property
• Researchers, publishers and gamers who want to publish and monetise their content and software
• Social Network users who want to distribute large files or pictures confidentially
