C2Net and nCipher join forces for security’s sake nCipher Corp. has announced that its nFast range of encryption accelerators is now compatible with C2Net’s Stronghold Crypt0 Engine (SHCE) to give customers access to 128-bit data encryption protection for their online communications, C2Net also offers nFast support with its stronghold secure Web server. C2Net’s Stronghold Crypt0 Engine is used to replace the crypt0 engine currently used in the Microsoft Internet Information Server Microsoft (IIS). It provides server performance improvements and gives customers the ability to support full strength encryption worldwide while still using Microsoft IIS as their actual Web server. SCHE is used to support the US export-restricted encryption capabilities of Microsoft IIS to ensure that full 128-bit data is used to protect communications end-to-end across the Internet.

secure storage of crypt0 keys, boosting the capabilities of certificate servers. The company claims, “nFast/KM provides key management facilities with a cost-effective means of relieving the burden on their servers while increasing overall security.” The product is particularly appropriate for managing secure access to an intranet or extranet, securely storing crypt0 keys and access control lists as well as managing key generation, storage and renewal policies. It has been designed to work with leading applications which use the PKCS#l 1 standard for key loading storage. These include certification authority applications, key storage, authentication, validation and management applications. Cryptographic keys can be stored in an encrypted form or loaded from tokens such as smartcards. Keys can also be split and shared across multiple tokens ensuring an additional degree of security.

To combat the onslaught of Internet spam, TenFour has announced that it has expanded the capabilities of its TFS Gateway Version 3.1 to offer a new feature, TFS Filtering. The new feature, claims the company, stops incoming messages before they reach an E-mail inbox. By using TFS Filtering, the gateway can be configured to accept or reject E-mail from specified Internet domain and/or IP addresses. Administrators can
define a list to allow E-mail contact only from certain companies and no others. An Internet domain and an IPaddress can also be combined to be either accepted or denied. TenFour has also introduced TFS Encryption, a product designed for TFS Gateway 3.1. This product provides more security to E-mail sent over the TFS Network, which is established between two TFS Gateways. Outbound messages can then be encoded to prevent tampering and unauthorized viewing. Messages passed through the gateway are encrypted with a 40-bit algorithm. The receiving TFS Gateway will decode the message with a corresponding key given during configuration of the TFS Network. To verify that the E-mail contents have not been altered and the listed sender is authentic, an 800-bit encrypted signature is added to the message body and all attachments. The recipient’s TFS Gateway deciphers the signature with a public key, again given during the TFS Network configuration.
