Can UDPi be described as a “Sustaining Technology”?
For the sake of definition, UDPi could accurately be described as a sustaining technology. In terms of sustaining technology, UDPi could improve existing products in terms of increasing security and could improve a products performance due to the fact that UDPi does not take up system resources, allowing UDPi protected products to use those resources for other tasks. Since UDPi is a new methodology, a shift in manufacturing will be required in order to implement the technology. However, UDPi would be more cost-efficient than many security technologies currently available, satisfying market demands with lower cost. UDPi would in fact improve market performance through a simple, cost efficient, smaller and more convenient means of security.
