RSA BSAFE(R) Crypto-J 3.2 Software Doubles Speed and Performance; RSA BSAFE
Cert-J 2.0 Software Offers New XML-Signing Capability
RSA(R) CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, April 9 /PRNewswire/ --
RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS), the most trusted name in e-security(TM),
today announced the latest versions of its RSA BSAFE(R) Java security
solutions. Offering a comprehensive security solution for Java developers,
RSA Security has enhanced its RSA BSAFE Crypto-J and RSA BSAFE Cert-J security
software to help enable applications to encrypt and share information
securely, verify the correspondent's authenticity, and confirm data integrity.
The new performance improvements are designed to allow developers to use
the RSA BSAFE Crypto-J software's algorithms at increased levels of speed and
throughput. The patented MultiPrime(TM) technology, incorporating technology
licensed from Compaq Computer Corporation, is designed to process
encryption/signing tasks, such as SSL transactions and non-repudiation
operations, at more than two times faster than previous methods.
Additionally, RSA BSAFE Crypto-J software supports PKCS #11, a cryptographic
standard designed for communication with hardware accelerator cards and smart
cards. These powerful, performance improvements are designed to provide
developers with unprecedented levels of quality, speed and performance for
their business applications.
RSA Security also has enhanced its RSA BSAFE Cert-J software with
XML-signing capability, which is designed to give developers the ability to
embed strong and reliable data security, integrity and authentication features
within their applications. RSA BSAFE Cert-J software provides Java developers
with trusted security components that enable their applications to function
reliably in a public key infrastructure (PKI) environment. Based on open
standards and rigorously tested for multi-vendor compatibility and
interoperability, RSA BSAFE Cert-J software provides a powerful, one-stop
security solution for companies striving to "PKI-enable" their enterprise
applications.
"With the most recent performance additions to RSA BSAFE Crypto-J
software, as well as the communication and authentication benefits of the RSA
BSAFE Cert-J product, RSA Security has reinforced its commitment to providing
reliable, time-tested security solutions for Java application developers,"
said Bill McQuaide, vice president of product marketing at RSA Security.
"This powerful combination provides a strong security foundation for
developers looking to embed open and interoperable Java cryptography and
PKI-enabling solutions within their applications."
The RSA BSAFE line of security software is embedded in today's most
successful Internet applications, including Web browsers, wireless devices,
commerce servers, e-mail systems and virtual private network products. Built
to provide implementations of standards such as SSL, SMIME, WTLS, IPSec and
PKCS, RSA BSAFE products can save developers time and risk in their
development schedules.
