»CipherCloud's product is NOT deterministic.« No, really, it is not. They say it three times. Who has not at least once dreamed of having your data processed by a non-deterministic system?
- edmccard 14y agoI think they are claiming that they are not using deterministic encrpytion[1], which can be used to allow searches of encrypted data, not that their software is "non-deterministic".

- danbruc 14y agoI know the difference between probabilistic and deterministic encryption but I did not think of it at the time I read the PDF and posted the comment. »[Our] product is NOT deterministic.« instead of »Our encryption algorithm is not deterministic.« tricked my brain into visualizing their software as a random number generator. So it is good that you point that out, I misinterpreted their statement.
