Kyberpass Launches Secure E-mail TrustPlatform for 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

that minimizes administrative overhead and client-side involvement

passwords

allowing easy configuration with minimal user involvement
