ViaCrypt, a division of Lemcom Systems, Inc., worked with NCD Software to develop and customize the integration of Z-Mail for Windows and ViaCrypt(TM) PGP(TM) software. With just a few clicks of the mouse, Z-Mail customers using ViaCrypt PGP can now encrypt the e-mail message bodies and arbitrary data file attachments they send, as well as apply digital signatures. Receivers can use ViaCrypt PGP to decrypt the messages and files and to verify the signatures. NCD Software unveiled the new person-to-person security feature today at E-Mail World, Booth 434, in San Jose, CA. Z-Mail is NCD Software's award-winning cross-platform e-mail software. Based on Internet-standard protocols that include POP, SMTP and MIME, Z-Mail has been acclaimed for its ease of use and highly integrated features, including a powerful scripting language, Z-Script, for enhanced customization capabilities. ViaCrypt PGP allows Z-Mail users to create, send and read secure messages by simple menu selection. The integration of ViaCrypt PGP into Z-Mail was achieved through Z-Mail's exclusive scripting capabilities and a front-end built specifically for by ViaCrypt. Message bodies as well as arbitrary file attachments are secured through public-key cryptography: only the person with the corresponding private key can unlock the encrypted file. Digital signatures, another valuable security application provided by ViaCrypt PGP, allow users to verify that the message they received was sent by a specific person and that the message was not altered. "Security has become our customers' primary consideration when it comes to Internet mail," said Mike Harrigan, vice president of marketing at NCD Software. "The integrated solution of Z-Mail and ViaCrypt PGP reflects our commitment to provide our corporate customers with an easy, secure e-mail system."
