at any rate - has anyone tried out that new f-secure by the folks who brought us f-prot? "military strength internet encryption".. seems to be an encrypted telnet, but i can't replace our server to test it..
No. I'll have to look for it. In the F-Prot does they explicitly endorse using PGP (esp. for sending infected files to them for analysis, as well as for checking signatures of binaries in the F-Prot package). They also do the same academic hedging about effectiveness of their anti-virus package that a good crypto package would use, so I suspect they're likely to produce a good crypto package. BTW, they're located in Iceland, at the complex.is domain. AFAIK, no export restrictions there. Rob. --- No-frills sig.

F-secure is a new commercial version of the SSH package, written by Tatu Ylonen from Finland. It uses the SSH protocol v2.0 and it is developed and sold by Data Fellows from Finland, http://www.datafellows.com/ Cryptographic algorithms are RSA, IDEA and 3-key 3DES. It can be sold both inside and outside the US. I would say the SSH package is very secure and very well designed. Jüri Kaljundi AS Stallion jk@stallion.ee
