Generally, sharing of data is done through SSL or the use of private digital certificates but these two methods are fraught with danger. AKCode on the other hand, uses a new methodology which guarantees that the information is both shared and secured. The methodology is based on trust established between two entities. If Alice trusts Bob, then Alice can share something with Bob and if Bob can prove that he is Bob, then he can get access to the document. In sharing, the files are not re-encrypted when the recipient gets the file. In fact, the file is not decrypted until the recipient actually opens the file. Because of the fact the files are not decrypted at intermediate points, there is no ability for a hacker to compromise the files during the transfer process.

AKCode uses a technique for authentication that does NOT require the password or the username to be sent to the server. Because of this methodology, the username and password are not compromised if the server is hacked, which, is almost certain going forward. Therefore, you can choose one username and password and this combination will work seamlessly for all AKCode products. You do not need to choose overly complex passwords and you do not need to change them because you are the only one who has access to the password as it is never stored anywhere.
