, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) ) contacted Meganet Corporation last week after reviewing the Virtual Matrix Encryption (VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. ) algorithm and highly recommended the VME technology to be the national standard for data encryption data encryption, the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign . The IBM spokesperson requested immediate submission of VME to the National Institute of Standards & Technology and the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers to facilitate the standardization. Obviously, Meganet's claim that their VME technology is completely impenetrable has garnered much support.

Meganet guarantees complete security with VME for any application such as Internet commerce, government communications, banking transactions, and the unlimited expectations of the corporate world. The confidence level is so high that a $1 million reward was posted on the Internet for anyone that could break a VME encrypted file. Over fifty five thousand (55,000) tried with no success. The confidence continued when Meganet challenged IBM, Microsoft, and a host of other computer geniuses to break an encrypted file.
