Secured Processing Inc. Announces a Technology Breakthrough for their Sentinel Cyber Security System

ANNAPOLIS, MD — (April 4, 2005) — Secured Processing Inc. (SPI) announced today that it has expanded the capabilities of its existing Sentinel Multi-Domain Security Technology through the use of solid state Flash Memory Technology. The Flash Memory is the same technology that is commercially available in the popular USB Jump Drives that are being used by PC users for the portable storage of data in the same manner as the Floppy Disk has been used. Flash devices will be used in the Sentinel as a direct replacement for the electromechanical Removable Hard Disk Drives (RHDDs) that are currently being used for restricted access software and data.

The Flash Memory technology will dramatically decrease the transition time from one domain to another that in the past was primarily dependent on the boot up speed of the electromechanical RHDDs. With flash technology the transition from one domain to another will be virtually instantaneous. In addition, the decreased power requirements of the flash technology will allow the Sentinel circuitry to be miniaturized dramatically to 1/10th of its current size. This along with the relatively small size of the Flash Memory will allow the Sentinel to easily support additional domains. The CEO of SPI, Mr. Terence Flyntz has also stated that "since the drive technology is outside the Sentinel technology that was validated at EAL 4 by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), the substitution of Flash Memory should have no impact on the status of the Sentinel validation."
