Environment
Nowadays, ownership and security of data are geopolitical and strategic battle for the highest stakes: privacy and sovereignty. Nonetheless, most current encryption systems still rely on century old numerical assumptions: prime factorisation, elliptic curves and more recently quantum hardness.
Why Ousia?
Founded in 2017, Ousia’s scientists believed that a theory of mathematics and semantics they had been developing since 2 decades had the potential to revolutionise encryption. They knew that in order to protect the next era of information, the world needs a new and stronger logic to protect it. Following the current path of innovations in AI especially, encryption is no longer about intruders only, it is now about ensuring meaning cannot be dismantled. AI systems we entrust must protect not just our data, but our thoughts. However, this is not achievable in defence through obscurity, it needs protection through form where ciphers shape around what matters and dissolve under brute force.
Technology
Much like the latest developments in compute, this encryption was inspired by the way our thoughts unfold: layered, adaptive and self-reinforcing. The result of this theory is a cipher suite that doesn’t merely guard some data, it understands the shape of what it protects. Every transformation reflects not just what the data is, but also how it relates, producing unique language-level transformations for every layer of data. Therefore, the cypher is inherently resistant to quantum decryption, not because of mathematical hardness, but structural unpredictability and symbolic entanglement. What isn’t patternable cannot be reversed.
Competitive advantage
The intelligent algorithm minimizes the increase in message size caused by encryption. This implies that we can offer the highest quantum resistance on the market that is fast even on simple architectures, runs with light computing requirements and without UX trade-offs. Ultimately, customers can stop worrying about expensive add-ons and save on energy while maintaining speed.
What’s next?
Ousia already owns a patent for its new promising semantic logic but developing a finished cybersecurity product, obtaining all the regulatory green lights finding partners and selling the solution will take time, funds, more people and business expertise. That’s why Fovea III was chosen as a partner.
