The inescapable problem is that most applications of what cvt do are already provided in Microsoft and other vendors products. Success will entail creativity and innovation as these kinds of capabilities are also embedded in enterprise solutions and various internet services.
I believe they have a shot in some areas, but they never previously pursued those as far as I understand. A public key service is workable, but fraught with pushback due to rightful concerns about handing a 3rd party your jewels for safekeeping. It could be done, but appeal is unlikely in the commercial world. I think it's greatest immediate appeal is in a free universal service. Get adoption first, then figure out how to monetize.
They could always sell the IP, if it has value. The patents seem "thin".

A lot of companies and Governments don't feel comfortable leaving their data on American servers or having it encrypted by American companies. This is because these entities are subject to American laws, which many fear will allow for Government snooping, etc.
