-PEP is an acronym for "Polymorphic Encryption and Pseudonymization", which hints at its [features](#Features), and at the technology on which it is based. Functionally, PEP is software for the storage and retrieval of tabular data. PEP's storage consists of a single table. This rather limited data structure is offset by some features that run-of-the-mill database systems do not normally provide:
+PEP is an acronym for "Polymorphic Encryption and Pseudonymization", which hints at its [features](#features), and at the technology on which it is based. Functionally, PEP is software for the storage and retrieval of tabular data. PEP's storage consists of a single table. This rather limited data structure is offset by some features that run-of-the-mill database systems do not normally provide:
 
-- PEP encrypts data both [at rest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_at_rest#Encryption) and in transit, effectively providing [end-to-end encryption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption) between the data's uploader(s) and downloader(s).
-- PEP ensures that no single server or administrator or hosting party can access the data (or provide access to it) by themselves.
-- PEP contravenes data blending, preventing data from multiple downloaders from being combined into a larger data set.
-- PEP keeps previous data versions available after a cell's contents are overwritten.

 More information on these four key features can be found below. Because of these features, PEP is usable for the storage of any (sensitive and/or confidential) information that must be made available in a pseudonymized form. Its current applications include the storage and dissemination of medical data for multiple academic research projects.
