Interoperability of encryption capabilities bring added value to customers and partners
TORONTO, May 3, 2010 - Echoworx Corporation, (www.echoworx.com) the leading provider of
managed encryption services for complete enterprise email and data
protection, today announced that its PGP interoperable Encrypted Mail Gateway
privacy application has new features and functionality to easily enable
automatic encryption and decryption of messages at the gateway.
"We are ever mindful of the importance of interoperability and this added
functionality ensures ease of use for our current PGP integration customers
between third party PGP (and S/MIME) credentials," says Michael Ginsberg,
President and CEO of Echoworx. "With more stringent regulatory requirements,
interoperability and ease of use of encryption capabilities are becoming
increasingly important. Our privacy applications have always helped
businesses overcome the complexities of deploying end-to-end encryption
solutions. PGP compatibility makes it even easier and increases the potential
market for all Echoworx privacy applications."
New legislation on the part of HIPAA for example has been raising
awareness about interoperability of encryption solutions, says Abner
Weintraub, President and CEO of HIPAA Group Inc. in Los Angeles. "When
looking at the sheer number of user encryption requirements, there is
absolutely no question that automated encryption, and more importantly email
encryption, is critical."
With this latest announcement, anyone with a valid third party public
certificate such as PGP or S/MIME can easily upload their credentials into
the Echoworx key repository. Any new messages sent through the Encrypted Mail
Gateway will automatically be encrypted. This service is free to third party
credential owners.
Features of Encrypted mail Gateway include: -- Self-managed and intuitive credential handling -- Automatically harvesting and storage of newer versions of public certificates -- Automated warnings when the credentials are about to expire -- Automatic decryption of replies -- It's free for the third party credential owners
