COCOON DATA LAUNCHES ‘SECURE ENVELOPES’ SOFTWARE TO FIGHT
GROWING CYBERCRIME IN ONLINE JUNGLE
Advances in internet technology, have dramatically changed the way we collect and use personal information,
which can be transferred and disseminated globally and more rapidly now than ever before. However, coinciding
with this is the heightened rate of cybercrime and cyber predators lurking in the indefatigable online jungle.
Sydney based internet company Cocoon Data Holdings Pty Ltd has developed a tool called ‘Secure Envelopes’ to
protect the public and corporate world against this growing number of cybercrime. The cyber-underground is
growing ever more sophisticated and hi-tech criminals trading stolen information are thriving rather in the
economic downturn. Cocoon Data has listed with the Australian Small Scales Offering Board (ASSOB) to fund the
further expansion of the Company.
SECURE ENVELOPES- CERTIFIED MAIL FOR THE INTERNET
Cocoon’s Australian engineered ‘Secure Envelopes’ software allows the sender or creator of any type of electronic
attachment to easily encrypt, manage and control the attachment, prior and post distribution. ‘Secure Objects’ is
the core Intellectual Property owned by Cocoon Data. The technology is a world first, has patents pending and is
drawing interest from Europe, Asia and the US. The software effectively empowers the sender to: revoke a certain
document or a person/s access post distribution, identify who, how and at what time a document has been
accessed and control whether the recipient can print or copy and paste the document.
According to Trent Telford, Ceo, Cocoon Data,
If an email data protection system is to work, Mr Telford says, it must be very user friendly. Until now, he says,
encryption systems required knowledge of quite complex technology - public and private keys, encryption
software etc.
"We think of Secure Envelopes as certified mail for the internet," he says. "Even better, imagine being able to
revoke access to the envelope even after the person has signed to take delivery of it."
Mr Telford says security is "a term I steer away from because this is not just about (internet) security but about
protecting that which is important to a person. It might be an email attachment, medical records, minutes of a
company meeting, anything they want to keep safe."
