Microsoft Outlook
|
Enterprise secure e-mail solution is first
to offer real-time digital identity validation and Identrus™
compliancy
RSA Conference 2002, San Jose, CA - February
18, 2002 - Kyberpass® Corporation, a leading provider
of e-security software for trusted e-business, today announced the
launch of the Kyberpass Secure E-mail TrustPlatform which offers
advanced security and user enhancements to overcome the inherent
complexity of managing PKI-based e-mail systems. Integrated with
Microsoft Outlook, the Kyberpass Secure E-mail TrustPlatform enables
large enterprises and Identrus member financial institutions to
conduct high value, non-refutable communications by ensuring that
messages can be digitally signed, encrypted and validated in real-time.
By providing real-time validation, the product reduces the significant
legal and financial ramifications which can result from e-mail-related
security breaches such as eavesdropping, forged mail and identity
theft.
“The Kyberpass Secure E-mail TrustPlatform leverages the investment
that thousands of organizations across the globe have made in Microsoft
Exchange and Microsoft Outlook, “ said Thomas Nolan, president
and CEO of Kyberpass. “As enterprises increase their reliance
on e-mail for trusted e-business and place more demands on its capabilities,
the Kyberpass Secure E-mail TrustPlatform will take the burden of
implementing, administering and managing complex security policies
and certificates away from both end-users and network administrators.”
“Microsoft is pleased to have Kyberpass provide this functionality
for customers that require such a high level of integration and
real-time authentication,” said Jackson Shaw, lead product
manager for Windows.NET Product Management Group at Microsoft Corp.
“Kyberpass' extensive support for the Microsoft Certificate
Server and CryptoAPI will clearly benefit customers.”
The Kyberpass Secure E-mail TrustPlatform combines the K2 E-mail
Agent Plug-in™ for Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000 and Outlook 98
with the Kyberpass Validation TrustPlatform™, which includes
a Windows 2000-based OCSP responder for real-time certificate and
digital signature validation.
The product includes:
- Identrus Ready e-mail plug-in and validation server
that offers out-of-the-box compliancy to Identrus specifications
- Real-time validation of digital IDs to ensure all
transactions are checked for validity and integrity
- Automatic mapping of digital IDs to simplify and
automate complex manual tasks
- Multiple directory support that offers flexible
look-up of Digital IDs without manual intervention
- Support for silent install for efficient enterprise
rollouts that minimizes administrative overhead and client-side
involvement

ID passwords

allowing easy configuration with minimal user involvement
