Media Release For immediate release Data Fellows and Nokia Announce New OEM Agreement Data Fellows' F-Secure SSH Client and Server To be Bundled in Three Nokia Router Product Lines Espoo, Finland, November 12, 1998 -- Data Fellows, the global leader in data security software and Nokia have signed OEM bundling agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will bundle F-Secure SSH Server and F-Secure SSH Client software in each unit of various Nokia routing products: the Nokia IP400 family of router/firewall products, the Nokia VPN200 series, and the Check Point VPN-1 RemoteLink line versions of these products sold through various VAR (Value Added Reseller) channels. F-Secure SSH Client provides Windows, Macintosh and all Unix users with secure connections over the Internet and other untrusted networks to corporate resources running F-Secure SSH Server -- in this case, the Nokia firewall/router products. F-Secure SSH provides proven, ICSA-certified end-to-end security between the client workstation and the Nokia router/firewall unit, or any other server running the software. The software offers strong authentication and encryption based on industry standard algorithms such as 3DES, IDEA and Blowfish, as well as data privacy for all data transmission. All data, including the initial user ID and password, exchanged between the Client and Server flows transparently through an encrypted tunnel. The new OEM agreement is the second between Nokia Telecommunications and Data Fellows. The VPN200 series enables a company of any size to set up network connections to all plant sites, using maximum-security standards. Both product families are compatible, enabling simultaneous management and control. "F-Secure SSH has become de facto standard for secure remote administration, maintenance and management of crucial corporate resources such as firewalls, routers, switches, web servers and mail gateways," says Petri Laakkonen, president of Data Fellows Inc. "By bundling the software with leading router/firewall solutions, Nokia and Data Fellows will make remote maintenance and administration of mission-critical network resources much more secure, affordable and easier to adapt even to most distributed global organizations." "This co-operation will strengthen Nokia's security solutions. Our products are in use for data applications where security is of the utmost importance. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers one of the most advanced, secure range of Firewall systems on the market," says Brian NeSmith, Vice President, Nokia IPRG.
