Entrust Technologies (www.entrust.com) has made Solo available for download, free for 30-day evaluation & edu/non-profit. For Win95/NT. A mere $49 Cdn (~35 US) for commerical usage... For e-mail / file encryption, digital signature Solo uses 128-bit encryption, which is CAST-128, the royality-free algorithm invented at Entrust/NorTel. It also uses 1024-bit RSA public-key cryptography and has DES, Triple DES available. Also follows FIPS 140-1 validated security kernel. It is compatible with other Solo clients (of course), Entrust/Lite and Entrust. It looks like PGP Inc might have some decent competition. I assume that it won't have the market pentration of PGP, but at least it will make a dent and might force PGP Inc. to make their product robust and flexiable. "Offer not valid in Libya, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Angola, Syria, and North Korea" I do not have any affiliation with Entrust or NorTel other than both being in Canada. I don't even have a copy of Entrust/Lite. -- Michael C. Taylor <mctaylor@mta.ca> <http://www.mta.ca/~mctaylor/> "Not speaking on Mt Allison University's behalf"
