History
SafeMashups Inc. was started in Silicon Valley by security industry veteran Ravi Ganesan. Ramakrishna Menon (now an Advisor to the Company) helped design many of the early prototypes. The Company then spent a year being incubated at the Institute for Cyber Security at The University of Texas at San Antonio, where Chief Architects Erhan Kartaltepe and Todd Wolff, worked with Ravi to further develop the technology and build the software currently available on this web site.
The Company has now spun out of incubation and is working closely with various partners (including VeriSign, Entrust, Comodo, DigiCert, etc.) to make its core innovation of MashSSL an industry standard through the MashSSL Alliance. The core technology has also been applied to cloud security. The SafeMashups Cloud Trust Model, and the resulting SafeMashups Cloud Trust Broker augment MashSSL and together they provide a powerful way of enhancing the security of the new (multi-party) Internet.
