NYT Crypto OpEd
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The NYT has a fairly good OpEd on encryption today, written by a novelist, who makes a good case for the citizen's need for the privacy protection, now that there are a zillion ways computers pry into private affairs. http://www.nytimes.com For those outside the US: NYT today began its free worldwide online service, so the whole world can log on to its prying computers. (Non-USes heretofore had to pay for privacy loss.) It claims to have 4 million daily online consumers and is happy to run an advertiser drivern operation to suck in millions more around the planet. Take note, Slate.

You have received this message because at some time in the past your name was submitted to our e-mail mailing list database. If you do not wish (or no longer wish) to receive announcements, updates and news concerning the RPK Encryptonite Engine or the RPK InvisiMail e-mail security products, please forward this message to remove(a)rpkusa.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Paula Miller Lyn Oswald Nadel Phelan, Inc. RPK Security, Inc. 408-439-5570 x277 212-488-9891 paulam(a)nadelphelan.com lynoswald(a)rpkusa.com RPK SECURITY ANNOUNCES "ENCRYPTONITE": THE POWERFUL PUBLIC KEY ENCRYPTION TOOLKIT The RPK Encryptonite Software Toolkit Version 3.0 Allows Developers to Easily Add Strong Security to Internet, Software, Hardware and Communications Applications SAN FRANCISCO, CA. July 27, 1998 RPK Security, Inc., announced today the release of its RPK Encryptonite Software Toolkit version 3.0. Now with C++ implementations and a Delphi VCL component, the RPK Toolkit provides integrators, developers and engineers with everything they need to quickly and easily incorporate fast public key encryption and strong security into their applications without extensive knowledge of cryptography. RPK Security is a technology leader in strong and fast public key encryption for software, hardware and Internet applications. With development and distribution facilities outside of the U.S., RPK Security is able to provide its customers with a worldwide strong security solution that is available globally unlike competing products that are restricted by U.S. export regulations. The RPK Toolkit, a software implementation of the RPK Encryptonite Engine, allows developers to build custom applications with embedded strong encryption for information sensitive applications and industries such as the Internet, communications, legal, health care and financial services. The Toolkit provides a dramatic 40 percent improvement in engine initialization (compared with V2.1), which results in remarkably better application response times. In addition, the Toolkit will include in future releases a new "packet encryption" technique which is well suited for broadcast and multi-cast applications, especially on the Internet. The RPK Toolkit is easy to use and manage, making it an attractive and readily accessible solution for developers of new applications. The RPK Toolkit includes sample applications, complete source code and comprehensive documentation. The core technology of the RPK Toolkit leverages the same mathematics behind Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, a widely used algorithm for creating secure network-based communications systems, and is highly respected by security experts. more RPK RELEASES LATEST VERSION OF ENCRYPTONITE TOOLKIT PG. 2 OF 3 "I have reviewed the RPK public key cryptosystem and believe the algorithm to be secure and suitable for use in secure applications," said Fred Piper, cryptographer, Codes & Ciphers Ltd. The RPK Encryptonite Engine provides a method of encrypting (also known as encoding) computer data or digital electronic signals to protect its contents against unauthorized surveillance. RPK Encryptonite Engine is unique in that it combines all the benefits of other public key systems (authentication, digital signatures and digital certificates) with the speed of a secret key system into one algorithm. With the superior performance offered by RPK's Encryptonite Engine, applications requiring streaming data, sound, video or large numbers of transactions, such as credit card payments, receive instantaneous responses and secure communication links. "In response to customer requests for a variety of software implementations as well as custom hardware (chips), we now offer developers and engineers a multi-platform premium encryption product that is easy to use and offers flexible and scalable levels of security and performance," said Jack Oswald, president and CEO of RPK Security. "Because the RPK Toolkit is developed outside of the U.S., it is not subject to U.S. export laws which gives a tremendous advantage to international customers, allowing them to produce secure, fast and flexible systems." Features of RPK Encryptonite Software Toolkit 3.0: Eighty different levels of encryption security Global availability with strong encryption Faster encryption and decryption of data files and streams Based on proven mathematics of Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange algorithm Easy to use object-oriented design Extremely well suited to embedded applications Less expensive to implement than competing products more RPK RELEASES LATEST VERSION OF ENCRYPTONITE TOOLKIT PG. 3 OF 3 Pricing and Availability: The RPK Encryptonite Software Toolkit is now available for licensing worldwide. Pricing starts at $695 per developer (development only). Deployment license fees are based upon custom configurations. For sales information, contact Kevin Shannon, vice president, sales at (610) 399-7999, or via e-mail at sales(a)rpkusa.com The RPK Encryptonite Software Toolkit includes: highly portable, cross-platform, C++ class libraries with full source code for use with Win 95, 98, NT and Linux, and VCL component for Borland's Delphi 3.0/2.0 running under Microsoft Windows 95 and NT. It was compiled and tested with Microsoft's Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, gnu/g++ and Borland Delphi 2.0/3.0. Windows DLL and ActiveX will be available by August 15, 1998. C source library, Solaris and HP/UX ports, and Java implementations will be available by August 31, 1998.
