Rosharon, TX — November 10, 2025 — Signal Advance, Inc. (OTC: SIGL) announced that President & CEO Chris M. Hymel, Ph.D. was featured on The Street Reports podcast to discuss the Company’s patented Analog Guard®platform—hardware‑level, physics‑based encryption engineered to counter AI‑accelerated exploits and emerging quantum threats.
Why it matters
Analog vs. digital keys: Digital keys are fixed numbers; Analog Guard® uses continuously varying, multi‑parameter waveforms (e.g., amplitude, frequency, phase, timing, rise/fall) as keys—removing exploitable structure from the digital domain.
Measured encryption strength (BER): Encryption exhibits ~50% bit‑error rate vs. the original (indistinguishable from noise); Decryption returns ~0% BER—i.e., the recovered file perfectly matches the original.
AI‑resilience evidence: Across two ML architectures and two scenarios (different keys / same file; same key / different files), models performed at chance (~50%)—unable to separate keys or data.
Quantum‑aware design: Security operations occur in the analog/physical layer rather than math‑bound algorithms, minimizing exposure to future quantum attacks.
“We do our encryption in the real world instead of the digital domain.” — Chris M. Hymel, Ph.D., Founder & CEO

Podcast Highlights
BER milestone: Encryption outputs at ~50% BER (statistically indistinguishable from noise) and ~0% BER on decryption (bit‑perfect recovery).
AI‑resilience tests: Two ML architectures across two scenarios (different keys/same file; same key/different files) performed at chance (~50%), unable to distinguish keys or underlying data.
Analog vs. digital keys: Analog Guard® uses continuously varying, multi‑parameter waveform keys (amplitude, frequency, phase, timing, rise/fall), eliminating exploitable digital structure.
IP momentum: Analog Guard® patent issued Oct 2024 with a ~3‑month allowance (vs. ~30‑month average); continuations filed; international filings in Germany, China, India.
Augment, don’t rip‑and‑replace: Designed to layer with existing digital crypto; concept USB inline module for data‑at‑rest protection; active interest from DoD, Congress, and private enterprises.
Featured Quotes
“Digital systems can’t even read what we’re doing. We do our encryption in the real world instead of the digital domain.” “This is not just a next step in the digital arms race. It’s a game changer — an actual paradigm shift.” — Chris M. Hymel, Ph.D.
Investor / Potential‑Acquirer Highlights
Platform IP: Analog Guard® U.S. patent issued (Oct 2024) with an ~3‑month allowance; continuations in process; additional filings underway in Germany, China, and India. Legacy Signal Advance IP includes issued patents across the U.S., China, Europe, India, and Mexico.
Metrics & validation: AI pattern‑recognition tests returned chance‑level (~50%) classification; encryption BER ~50% and decryption ~0% BER.
Defensibility: Hardware‑native, physics‑based security that complements and hardens digital cryptographic systems.
Productization path: Reference designs and OEM modules (e.g., USB inline data‑at‑rest encryption) to add an analog security layer without replacing existing digital stacks.
Commercial model: Licensing/OEM, silicon IP, and secure module integrations for Tier‑1s and critical‑infra vendors.
Go‑to‑market focus: Defense, critical infrastructure, fintech, medical and industrial systems.
Near‑term milestones (next 2–3 quarters):
Third‑party AI‑resilience & side‑channel testing;
Development of prototype evaluation kits for OEMs;
Expanded patent prosecution;
Initial pilots in prioritized verticals.
