“The statement is patently false. Sid implies that what was perceived from a public demo is CipherCloud's product offering.”

»CipherCloud's product is NOT deterministic.« No, really, it is not. They say it three times. Who has not at least once dreamed of having your data processed by a non-deterministic system?

I think they are claiming that they are not using deterministic encrpytion[1], which can be used to allow searches of encrypted data, not that their software is "non-deterministic".

EDIT: Or maybe you know that and I missed the joke.

I know the difference between probabilistic and deterministic encryption but I did not think of it at the time I read the PDF and posted the comment. »[Our] product is NOT deterministic.« instead of »Our encryption algorithm is not deterministic.« tricked my brain into visualizing their software as a random number generator. So it is good that you point that out, I misinterpreted their statement.
