Hi ztect - Can't answer all your questions, but here is what I do know. <<Does L5 4096 intend to have consumer applications?>> Ultimately, this product can be included as firmware in any device that transfers digital bits. What does that mean? Cell phones, faxes, PCs etc. can all have the encryption built right into them. <<Will the tiered or supplemental key system be easy enough to use for Internet commerce?>> They know the importance of this market, so I'm going to say yes. <<How does L5 4096 compare to other encryption schemes i.e. algorithms also currently be developed like VME by meganet? (see meganet.com) It has more bits, but is it better?>> Don't know the answer to that one. In encryption, "more bits" is better. However, like systems at 4096 bits are not necessarily equal. The company's claim is that theirs is the best, which will be backed up by the SNC Lavalin report and (hopefully!), the $5M contest. <<Does JAWZ have any of their products patented? Or in the process of being patented? (This is a very important question to me)>> The product was developed by the company - their main software guy, Jim Morrison. I don't know if it's patented but I'm sure they'll let you know the status. <<Has JAWZ secured any contracts yet for their products from security sensitive clients like the military or any governments?>> I believe that we will see a press release this week stating that 2 major companies have decided to use Jaws as their encryption software. I think that's pretty heady stuff for a company that really hasn't got going yet. Wecome aboard Ztect - I think it's going to be some month. Regards bbruin
