Sai,

AETI's business is significantly different than JAWZ. The success or failure of JAWZ will ride on whether or not they can convince the marketplace that their L5 algorithm is secure . They are just one of a several small companies trying to this. ( Although I suspect their recent announcement about starting a security consulting service may indicate they feel the need to diversify.)

If AETI is doing what they say they are, they are using industry standard algorithms to perform file encryption. They don't have the algorithm acceptability problem to fight. In my opinion, the success of their company will ride on whether or not organizations have the need for this security, and if they do, if they're willing to pay for it. And if they are willing to pay for it, if they're willing to buy it from a small player like AETI as opposed to someone like SDTI.

FIPS 140-1 certification would be a great boost as no other file encryption product has received this certification.
