EMD Worldwide Inc. Secures and Protects Corporate Data On Desktop and Mobile Computers with EMD Disk Armor NT.SHREWSBURY, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 1998-- New Product Protects Against Hackers and Data Thieves By Creating a Secure Disk Volume Using "Real Time" Encryption EMD EMD Electromechanical dissociation, see there Worldwide Inc. Tuesday announced EMD Disk Armor NT, the industry's first NT volume based encryption and access control product for securing data on desktop and mobile computers. EMD Disk Armor NT stops hackers and data thieves from accessing sensitive data on corporate desktop and mobile computers. With the announcement of EMD Disk Armor NT, EMD Worldwide Inc. again demonstrates its leading position in the area of network security and encryption technologies. EMD Disk Armor NT uses the strongest encryption available on the market today offering the choice of 448-bit Blowfish A secret key cryptography method that uses a variable length key from 32 to 448 bits long. It uses the block cipher method, which breaks the text into 64-bit blocks before encrypting them. , 128 Bit EMD-2 and 56 Bit DES, to create a secure disk volume on NT based systems. All data, including sensitive files, application software, and access attributes are hidden from view and encrypted in a secure area of the hard drive. EMD Disk Armor NT is simple to install and manage and is transparent to the end user. Utilizing the industry's most advanced encryption engine for volume based security, EMD Disk Armor NT is anywhere from twenty to thirty times faster than other security packages available on the market today. "EMD Disk Armor NT is the fastest volume based encryption system of its kind which allows the end user to select between multiple encryption algorithms A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret code known as "ciphertext." Each algorithm uses a string of bits known as a "key" to perform the calculations. The larger the key (the more bits), the greater the number of potential patterns can be created, thus making to secure their data," said Enrico DePaolis, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of EMD Worldwide Inc. "Advanced access controls allow the user to assign rights to secured volumes as well as selectively mount and dismount volume sets for greater versatility and customization. By providing the strongest commercially available encryption, EMD Disk Armor NT allows corporations and home users to keep their information confidential." Encrypted volumes can be grouped into drive sets which allow multiple encrypted volumes to be mounted or dismounted at the same time. Auto mount features make accessing protected drives even easier at startup. Access permissions can be set for each volume independent of others thus allowing even more control over access to protected data. EMD Disk Armor NT works at the system level encrypting the Master Boot Record The first sector on the hard disk, which directs the computer to the location of the operating system. See boot sector. on up, so only files that are being accessed are decrypted in memory. This ensures that information stored on the hard drive is kept confidential even if the computer is stolen, compromised or hacked. EMD Disk Armor NT is designed using the latest in encryption technology and employs the EMD EET imp. 1. imp. os> of Eat. EET n abbr (= Eastern European Time) → hora de Europa oriental EET abbr (= Eastern European Time) → HEO ( encryption engine for fast reliable encryption. The multi-level security architecture allows the user to custom configure their system security protection to fit their needs. The speed and transparent design of EMD Disk Armor NT make it the fastest and most unobtrusive encryption system available for NT based computers. Pricing and Availability EMD Disk Armor NT is compatible with the Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs.
