Ingrian Eases Data Privacy Deployments in Heterogeneous Environments.REDWOOD CITY Redwood City, city (1990 pop. 66,072), seat of San Mateo co., W Calif., on San Francisco Bay; inc. 1868. Manufactures include commmunications, electrical, electronic, and medical equipment. , Calif. -- Support for 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. #11 Cryptographic Standard Broadens Options for Deploying Data Privacy Solutions Ingrian(TM) Networks, Inc., the leading provider of data privacy solutions, today announced expanded support for cryptographic APIs, which will significantly broaden deployment options for Ingrian products. With support for Public Key Cryptography An encryption method that uses a two-part key: a public key and a private key. To send an encrypted message to someone, you use the recipient's public key, which can be sent to you via regular e-mail or made available on any public Web site or venue. Standard (PKCS) #11, Ingrian DataSecure(TM) Platforms can be easily integrated in a range of environments, including Windows, Solaris, and Linux. This release's support of PKCS #11 augments Ingrian's existing support of standardized APIs for Java and Microsoft environments. Ingrian's support for standard interfaces results in highly flexible integration capabilities, even in heterogeneous environments. Today, Ingrian DataSecure Platforms offer support for leading application servers, including Oracle, BEA BEA - Basic programming Environment for interactive-graphical Applications, from Siemens-Nixdorf. , IIS (Internet Information Services) Microsoft's Web server. IIS runs under the server versions of Windows, adding HTTP server capability to the Windows operating system. , and more. In addition, they feature standard interfaces for leading databases, including Oracle and 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) . PKCS is a suite of specifications developed by RSA Security RSA, The Security Division of EMC Corporation, is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, and maintains offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and Japan. RSA organizes the annual RSA conference. in conjunction with industry, academic, and government representatives. PKCS #11 (also known as Cryptoki) is the specification for the cryptographic token interface standard, defining a technology-independent programming interface for cryptographic applications.
