Ottawa: Privacy of communications has a wide appeal in many sectors of the economy. SafeLoop is intended to provide another option to traditional means of communications like telephone conversations, fax transmissions, regular Internet email, post office services, couriers or safe hand deliveries. It is designed to fill a need for low cost, simple, rapid, private and secure communications for the general public. It is to be used in conjunction with existing communication methods, not as a replacement for any of them. It is well recognized that the Internet is a very insecure network to move confidential information. According to Dr. Art Hunter, President of SafeLoop.com Inc.

The solution is to add security to this intrinsically insecure communications...
