Aliroo's PrivaWall Now Supports S/MIME for Seamless, Interoperable E-Mail Security.MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 1999-- --Open, Standards-based Protocol Ensures Cryptographic Compatibility Across Vendors-- Aliroo Inc., a developer and provider of Information System Security Solutions, announced today that PrivaWall, an enterprise security and content assurance management solution for transparent email encryption and authentication, will support S/MIME See MIME. to enable users to send and receive secure messages with multi-vendor interoperability. S/MIME, a widely used industry standard developed by RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. Data Security Inc. and other companies, allows messages encrypted by one S/MIME-compliant program to be decrypted by any other program. S/MIME enhances PrivaWall to support both asymmetric (PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of ) and symmetric encryption Same as secret key cryptography. , providing additional flexibility of encryption processes for Aliroo customers. Because S/MIME is flexible, open and based on Standards, PrivaWall users can further leverage their PKI investment and be assured that their enterprise will scale as their organization grows or needs change. "Aliroo consistently provides our customers with products that are interoperable, simple to use and incorporate the latest in security innovation," said Jim Prohaska, executive vice president of Aliroo Inc. "This latest enhancement of PrivaWall to conform with the S/MIME standard is another step in ensuring that our customers get the security they need with the flexibility and user-friendliness they deserve." S/MIME emerged as an industry standard for secure email in 1996, allowing vendors to develop interoperable RSA-based security for electronic messaging See e-mail and messaging system. . S/MIME (Secure Multipurpose mul·ti·pur·pose adj. Designed or used for several purposes: a multipurpose room; multipurpose software. multipurpose Adjective Internet Mail See Internet e-mail service. Extension) is based on a combination of the standard MIME specification and the intervendor PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards) Specifications from RSA Laboratories for various techniques used with RSA public key cryptography. With cooperation from security experts worldwide, PKCS #1 covers the RSA standard itself. . In addition to compliance with the S/MIME standard, PrivaWall can function independently or in concert with Check Point's FireWall-1 Product, and is OPSEC-compliant. For additional flexibility, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. and POP protocols are supported as well as content sensitive filtering.
