A friend of mine and I have been working for awhile now in order to create our own encryption, one very different then any other encryption out there. We’ve done our optimization and security analysis and we believe that we have something worthy of public release. How do we go about getting a patent on a piece of software or the encryption algorithm itself?
Once we have that done, how do we make our encryption known? How do we get it out there so we can sell rights to use the encryption for commercial use? We could set up a website, and search engine optimization and all that, but what else can we do? Are there encryption competitions out and around?
You get a patent for algorithm the same way you get a patent for anything… at a patent office.
Because I know that your algorithm is no match for the modern encryption techniques, I wouldn’t advise you getting a patent – it would be a waste of money.
