1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
when Brisbane accountant Jamie Wilson experienced the frustration of trying to locate his father’s important documents when he unexpectedly died of cancer. Jamie saw an opportunity to develop a highly secure centrally located online solution for the storage, sharing and legal signing of important documents.He teamed up with Australian based leading cryptologists to develop a superior security technology for the management of documents online. This technology took three years to develop and ensures the complete security and privacy of online documents.It was awarded a patent in Australia/NZ in November 2014. Patents are currently in progress in the USA, Europe and Hong Kong.
The purpose of this innovation is to…
provide unmatched document security, privacy and integrity in a user-friendly, cloud-based file management service. It ensures that files can be viewed and accessed only by the user and those authorised by the user,are accessible anytime,anywhere and can be securely recovered
It does this by…
applying its advanced security technology to uniquely secure each and every file. In combination with its superior encryption algorithms,YDF employs an authenticated user identity process to eliminate identity fraud,client-side encryption to ensure users’ data is encrypted ‘in transit’ and ‘at rest’ and an escrow model for secure account recovery and access following a Data Legacy ‘trigger event’.
3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS

4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
employing a variety of security technologies to protect data including system perimeter security, ssl transit and client-side encryption and document key management. However most cloud storage providers have favoured ease of use over advanced security, resulting in continuing significant data breaches. YDF solves the problem of highly secure and easy to use online document management and can securely recover lost files.
