Dublin-based Evervault, a developer-focused security startup which sells encryption vis API and is backed by a raft of big name investors including the likes of Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins and Index Ventures, is coming out of closed beta today — announcing open access to its encryption engine.

The startup says some 3,000 developers are on its waitlist to kick the tyres of its encryption engine, which it calls E3.

Among “dozens” of companies in its closed preview are drone delivery firm Manna, fintech startup Okra, and healthtech company Vital. Evervault says it’s targeting its tools at developers at companies with a core business need to collect and process four types of data: Identity & contact data; Financial & transaction data; Health & medical data; and Intellectual property.

The first suite of products it offers on E3 are called Relay and Cages; the former providing a new way for developers to encrypt and decrypt data as it passes in and out of apps; the latter offering a secure method — using trusted execution environments running on AWS — to process encrypted data by isolating the code that processes plaintext data from the rest of the developer stack.

Evervault is the first company to get a product deployed on Amazon Web Services’ Nitro Enclaves, per founder Shane Curran.

“Nitro Enclaves are basically environments where you can run code and prove that the code that’s running in the data itself is the code that you’re meant to be running,” he tells TechCrunch. “We were the first production deployment of a product on AWS Nitro Enclaves — so in terms of the people actually taking that approach we’re the only ones.”

Evervault’s fix for this unfortunate ‘feature’ of the app ecosystem is to make it super simple for developers to bake in encryption via an API — taking the strain of tasks like managing encryption keys.
