Business proposal: “Does what we do make cybercrime less or more likely?”

Secrecy Plus Com, for B2B and B2C clients, sectors and markets, adds value by using existing technologies — current, and as they renew and become newly current in the future — for the benefit primarily of our clients, rather than being mainly designed to maximise the bottom lines of big tech corporations at the expense of user safety and security.

The design decisions we take, both hardware and software, will have one focus and one priority: “Does what we do at Secrecy Plus make cybercrime & similar less or more likely to happen?”

The product itself — Secrecy Plus — involves high- to medium-specification hardware, reshaped especially for our own needs as a secrecy-sensitive and secrecy-positive company, running a newly repurposed European operating-system.

For B2B and B2C purposes, this will be branded “Secrecy Plus: your secrecy, intuitively”, and will either use one non-Silicon Valley tech manufacturing corporation as its distribution and delivery arm, or will use this corporation’s business model to replicate it with top-tier Euro-tech companies as an alternative.

Our preferred option at the moment is the former, but it’s always good to have a Plan B.

Where we are currently: “In discussions with several future partners”

We are in the process of discussing:

• who is responsible for distribution;

• who is responsible for the repurposing of existing hardware & software;

• state participation and how its responsibilities and ownership will be purposefully engineered and integrated from the start;

• the IP generated and where this will most safely and usefully sit; and

• business & citizen integration into the product and digital-service lines in the next five years.

What Secrecy Plus won’t include: “What will be ringfenced inside the wider nio kvinnor projects and workstreams”

Secrecy Plus is designed particularly to deliver secrecy-sensitive workspaces — the digital equivalent of the secrecy levels we have enjoyed for millenia, since humans started using pencil and paper — for mainly B2B and B2C clients, sectors and markets. After all, Steve Jobs enjoyed such spaces in his early days — no one knew what he was thinking on his hard drive until he chose to share it, and so he could imagineer as freely as Leonardo da Vinci in his time.

Just imagine, then, a world where you knew with much more certainty that your insights, intelligence, and IP were unseen for as long as you chose to make them so.

This is what Secrecy Plus will deliver: this certainty.

What Secrecy Plus won’t deliver is what we might term the next level: secrecy-positive and deeply researched technologies for government clients only.

Different, under-the-radar relationships will be developed to this latter end.

Our mission is, inevitably, ultimately, to degrade the funding streams of totalitarian regimes sufficiently over the next decade, including their supporters and advocates in tech, so that Western and related democratic instincts can begin to return with confidence to the world stage.

And, equally, so that ordinary citizens and businesspeople can start to see that digital may be something quite different to what it’s been of late: something more akin to what Jobs himself clearly enjoyed all those decades ago.

Safety and security online and offline.
