PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2004

Allows Simple Integration of PGP Security into Existing

Server-to-Server Data Transfer Applications

PGP Corporation, a global leader in digital information security, today introduced PGP(R) Command Line 8.5, software that adds encryption capabilities to batch processing and transfer of sensitive business information. This product is for organizations with applications that include regular server-to-server or server-to-desktop transfer of proprietary corporate information. Securing such information transfers has become an increasingly high priority in response to government privacy and security regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and HIPAA as well as to increased use of the Internet as a transmission channel.

"Customers in every industry and geography have asked for a product that adds PGP security to internal applications that regularly move information among servers," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO of PGP Corporation. "With PGP Command Line 8.5, industries such as financial services will be able to insert PGP encryption into their core applications that deliver daily or hourly bulk-transfers of transactional, credit card, loan, and other proprietary information."

Key Customer Issues for Using PGP Command Line 8.5:

-- Regulatory requirements have increased the need for all

applications and information to be secured, especially large

batches of customer data automatically transferred among

servers

-- Increased awareness that SSL-type security, which secures the

transmission conduit but not the information itself, does not

deliver the highest level of security

-- Increased use of FTP batch processing, a less-secure method of

transfer, which has no provision for maintaining information

securely while in storage

Key Features of PGP Command Line 8.5:

-- Simple insertion of PGP encryption into existing and new batch

processes that include transfer of proprietary information

between servers or from server to desktop without the

additional hardware needed by secure FTP drop-box solutions

-- Protection of data both in transit over the network and in

storage at either end of the network connection

-- Secure e-mail, stored data, and batch-processing/FTP e-mail

and stored data from a single, trusted vendor

-- Patented PGP Additional Decryption Key (ADK) technology to

ensure corporate access to encrypted data according to policy,

especially to meet regulatory mandates

-- Based on the mature PGP Software Development Kit (SDK)

cryptographic engine common to all PGP products, from a

trusted vendor that publishes source code for peer review; the

PGP SDK 3.0.3 has received FIPS 140-2 validation of core PGP

cryptography
