Wireless security client

We all know wireless even with all the WEP and WPA security bells and
whistles turned on is not secure - it can usually be broken within a few
hours.

My company has had a commercial wireless security product used in offices
and company settings that works great, but is too expensive of a solution
for the private individual.

A friend of mine and myself took the task on to develop a wireless security
client that would meet the following qualifications:

1. 100% unbreakable encryption
2. Would work from any wireless network in the world, as long as it was
connected to the Internet
3. Cheap enough that the millions of home and public wireless users
would be able to use it
4. Wouldn't require any additional hardware
5. No security knowledge would be required - download, install, click
"secure"

After two months of hard work we've got it all put together. We're looking
for users that would like to test and use the security for FREE until we go
"live".

The security works 100% during our testing period, there are no features
disabled during testing - you get the real deal for FREE.

After we go live with the security client we will pay you $5 per month for
every customer that you send our way. You can see how this can quickly add
up - 20 referrals is $100 per month. By introducing the wireless security
solution to your friends and people you meet at public wifi spots you can
easily generate some serious residual income.

Thanks!

Oh, forgot to mention. Put "FREE" as the promotional code to get the client
for free.

Thanks!

Heh. Looks like I forgot more than telling you to put "FREE" in the promo
box. You can enter 16 zeros for your credit card if you want.

Even if you put in a credit card it still wouldn't be charged until we go
live.

It's free until we go live with it, just like I said. We are looking for
people to test it out. Once we go live it's $15/mo.

We even changed the signup page to reflect the instructions of entering 16
zeros with the promotional code "FREE".

Thanks for catching this error.

Sorry for any confusion.

What's the algorithm that protects the wireless data?

x509 PKI for authentication (both the server and the client authenticate
against one another)

OpenSSL's EVP for encrypting they data and HMAC-SHA1 for authenticating the
data.

Not true. WPA with a strong passphrase is quite robust.

There is no such thing, particularly without real expertise in cryptography.

Already exists; e.g.,
* <http://www.hotspotvpn.com/> commercial
* <http://www.iopus.com/> free

Why should we trust you?

FIPS 140-2 approval?

Have you got a product sheet or PDF?
