Data Fellows Ltd. Media Release For immediate release 4 February 1998 DATA FELLOWS WINS ANOTHER ACCLAIMED AWARD International Success Recognized by Head of State The developer of F-Secure data security products, Data Fellows Ltd., has received the President of Finlands Export Award. This award is granted annually to the most outstanding export companies in the country. This is the first time a developer of commercial software packages has been granted the award. Data Fellows is one of the worlds leading developers of data security products. It has offices in San Jose, California, and Espoo, Finland, as well as distributors in over 50 countries all around the world. Its products have been translated to over 30 languages. The companys annual growth in net sales has been over 100% since it was founded in 1988. "The award is a recognition of our status as a leading international data security development company," says the Chief Executive Officer of Data Fellows Ltd., Mr. Risto Siilasmaa. "I believe our success is based on two things: excellent products and high quality services." The most successful product group of the company is its F-Secure Anti-Virus products. Data Fellows is the developer of the revolutionary CounterSign Technology, which enables the use of several scanning engines simultaneously. Due to this groundbreaking technology, the theoretical chances of a virus slipping through to a computer or a network are smaller than ever. F-Secure Anti-Virus offers unrivalled protection by combining the best available single scanning engine F-PROT with the AVP anti-virus engine, which also ranks among the best in the world. Another fast growing business area for Data Fellows is its F-Secure cryptography software products. The F-Secure product family uses the best available military strength encryption and authentification algorithms to protect confidential data. F-Secure products are based on the SSH protocol, which provides a generic transport-layer encryption mechanism for network connections. The SSH protocol provides both host authentication and user authentication, together with privacy and integrity protection. The products of Data Fellows have already won numerous international tests and competitions, including the 1996 European Information Technology Prize; Data Communications Magazines Hot Product of the Year 1997; SVM Magazine, May 1997, Best Anti-Virus; and SECURE Computings Editors Choice. Data Fellows belongs to an elite group of companies that have a triple-A rating from Dun&Bradstreet. Triple-A is the highest possible credit rating.

BSAFE 4.0 to force GAK?!
by steve 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FYI Jan. 26's Network World has an article on page 33 titled "RSA blasts (but also supports) Government encryption policy". The paragraph of note is the fourth paragraph which reads:"The next version of the RSA encryption toolkit, BSAFE 4.0, will force those building products with anthing over 56 bit strength encryption to use a key-recovery center for exportable products...." I haven't been able to confirm this with other sources yet but the glaring question is how will this be enforced and how will it affect domestic products that wish to use BSAFE 4.0 for their crypto. Further what ramifications does this hold for their S/Mail toolkit for S/MIME? and I haven't seen this discussed on the list yet. Steve O -- A picture tells a thousand words.

New RAND IW Study
by Steve Schear 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A very interesting RAND study, In Athena's Camp, was recently released. From the preface: "New modes of war, terrorism, crime, and even radical activism-are all these emerging from similar information-age dynamics? If so, what is the best preparation for responding to such modes? When the subject is warfare, for example, it is common wisdom that militaries tend to prepare for the last war, and there is much historical evidence to support this notion. Today, however, it is clear that defense establishments around the world-and especially in the United States-are thinking about how war will change, how the "revolution in military affairs" (RMA) will unfold, and how the next war may well be quite different from the last. Whether the focus is warfare, terrorism, crime, or social conflict, we have striven to anticipate what the spectrum of future wars and other types of conflicts will look like." http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR880 --Steve

potus manipulation for fun and profit
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Given the Head of State's alleged affinitity for "covert personal operations", consider the potential for manipulating him by any three-letter-agency skilled in surveillance. E.g., getting the Clinton administration behind Clipper, supporting our man Freeh, etc. There are advantages to having a POTUS who's a security risk, after all :-< -Gedanken memo, no such agency. David Honig honig(a)alum.mit.edu --------------------------------------------------- Is Monica Lewinsky endorsing kneepads for Nike yet?

I really am not so worried about Microsoft's software strategy as I am about their communication infrastructure strategy. Every time I go to a computer show or swap meet, I see stacks of Linux CDs selling like hot cakes. Most anyone with a clue who doesn't like Billy's crapware knows precisely where to find something better. What concerns me more is the partnerships that Billy & Co. are making with internet providers, especially cable & DSL. Many of the cable modem service providers have notoriously bad reputations for using packet filters to block stuff they don't like. These days, any internet provider who tries that shit usually finds its customers going elsewhere, but when there's only one or two cable providers and Mickeysoft owns them all, then what? The solution, of course, is encrypted IP, something which has been moving far too slowly. Frankly I'm pretty disappointed with the apparent unwillingness of several IETF members to address the obvious MITM attacks, such as CBC cut-and-paste. It is going to royally suck when we have to redo it because the protocol didn't work the first time.
