Craig Gentry, a young man doing an internship for IBM was sitting in a cafe one day and discovered something he had pondered on for quite some time, a breakthrough in encryption. This breakthrough would totally change the way security via the web is handled. Consumers private information would be protected in unprecedented ways. This would definitely increase sales and businesses that deal in e-business will begin to see substantial gains in revenues thanks to this new cryptology. It hasn't been implemented yet, but will be looked at very closely in the months to come. The system developement life cycle of this new breakthrough is going to be very intersting with its complex applications to the vast amounts of affecs it will impose on the way business is done over the internet.
