David Johnston, chairman of the Factom Foundation board of directors said, “We are excited to integrate Rivetz–s capabilities to bring world-class protection of users– identities and private keys as an option for all of Factom–s users. Rivetz is providing a fundamental technology that will benefit all new blockchain-based applications.”

We look forward to integrating Factom–s capabilities into our solution to protect and attest to the attributes of modern devices for security, convenience and privacy,” stated Rivetz CEO Steven Sprague.
Factom uses blockchain technology to innovate how organizations can manage and record their data. Businesses can now reliably look to Factom and Rivetz for highly secure, decentralized record-keeping using their API, without having to ensure their information is being stored in a compliant and private manner.
All the data managed by Factom is hashed (a process by which mathematical algorithms encode data into a different form), resulting in an indistinguishable string of alphanumeric characters, rendering information such as names, addresses, transactions and finances impermeable. Only the person who sent the information into the Factom layer is aware of what data it contains. Rivetz provides the local environment which assures that the information being protected was what the user intended, and enhances the quality of the hash signatures by incorporating cyber-security controls for the local keys and identity information.
Rivetz believes that keeping both the data and the location of the data private is essential to many business and consumer transactions. Rivetz allows the assurance of the Factom network to meet all of the global requirements for protection of identity keys and encryption process. Together, the solution will meet the needs of the most demanding customers and substantially reduce the cyber-security risks which face so many solutions today.
