Network Manifold Associates

Network Manifold Associates Inc., or NMA, is a US company that develops "target-free" technologies for secure Internet communications.
NMA technologies are characterized by the absence of data-targets (hence the name "target-free") with authentication or keying information of users that could be used in case of server breach. This feature also protects all files encrypted with such keys, which cannot be compromised except by brute-force search.
The NMA technology was first qualified by the Swedish Government's Ministry of Justice Statskontoret in 2001. Hundreds of thousands of people have used Internet services based on the NMA technology, often without realizing that anything out of the ordinary was happening.
A server protected by NMA's technology may offer to users what looks like a conventional username/password authentication screen but there is no username or password lists anywhere, online or offline, even encrypted. If such server and even all its components (example, encryption cards) are attacked, online or by an internal attack, there are no user credentials or keys that could be found, even in encrypted form.
ZSENTRY, Zmail, and Safevote use applications of the NMA technology.
