Yeah we've just yesterday been discussing that:

You know, there's a huge advantage in not basing your algo on lots of public papers: people are never really sure how exactly to spam you.

As said in the other Fast technology is based on research done at the NTNU, Norway's leading technical university. All scientists/PHDs are recruited from there, starting with CEO and founder John Lervik, best PHD in 1996.
So they certainly have a solid scientific background. I would guess there are papers somewhere in the NTNUs libraries, but I have not been able to dig up anything yet.
