Can you tell us the name of the product?
Note that describing the algorithm used in an encryption technology
does not imply one has to open your code up but just describe the
ciphers methodology. In absence of that it is hard for anyone to
verify
the ability of the algorithm.
For example RSA's RC5 is described [1] yet not open sourced. It is
patented and requires licensing to use.
It sounds like you may have had some type of public/government
verification that has taken place...?

Its called Salutis.
Do you have a link or a web-page that describes the product? Where
might one find more information about said product? Perhaps a link to
the government classification standard you claim to be meeting,
including the identity of the third-party that verified your
classification
level. Please note that I do not want your assembly or C++ code, nor
do I even want pseudo-code, though pseudo-code is acceptable if you
want to provide it, it's just a little harder to read. All I was
asking for was
the mathematical procedure(s) you use for encryption. All of the
cryptographic experts that I know tell me that anyone who will not
provide a description of their encryption system for anyone who asks is
just selling snake-oil in the form of a cryptographic application.
