In June 2003, the US Government announced that AES encryption (the cipher used by Zarqon to encrypt license data) may be used to protect classified information:
"The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level."
"Nasdaq stores many terabytes of NYSE, Nasdaq and Amex data in Amazon’s storage cloud," according to Claude Courbois, associate VP, product development.
"Nasdaq adds 30 to 80 gigabytes of data every day to the cloud, about 300,000 flat files, each representing 10 minutes’ worth of trading activity on a stock.”
