Tutarus Corporation's SRK Encryption Technology Receives FIPS 140-2 Certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Tutarus(TM) Corporation, the creator of Secure Random Key (SRK) Technology, a state-of-the-art digital encryption system, is pleased to announce the official certification of its two Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL), Trakron and SRKCrypto, for compliance with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Certification from NIST.

FIPS certification is required by the U.S. government for encryption technology to validate systems being incorporated into government infrastructures meet necessary cryptographic criteria and security standards. SRK technology is generating significant interest within the government and across information technology markets, particularly in areas related to data at rest, VoIP, and messaging services. Because of its unique key management process, SRK technology can be implemented in place of certificate-based solutions that have proven to be difficult and costly.

SRK technology is proving to be an effective alternative to encryption systems based on certificates and tokens, providing organizations with faster and easier to implement encryption security, at a cost level that cannot be matched. This cost-effective government-certified technology is receiving rave reviews via technical evaluations and testing because of its ability to be customized to fit into any digital environment, i.e. U.A.V.s, Cellular Phones, Satellite Transmitting, WiFi, PDAs, etc.

SRK's unique architectural design has allowed for the development of out-of-the-box email encryption applications that encrypt and decrypt 75MB files in less than 5 seconds and add only 100K to file size. These robust, email plugins are called SeraMail and Cryptarus. Cryptarus, the government-specific email product, is now ready for government implementation because of the FIPS certification. On a parallel basis, FIPS certification is relative to international certifications because it satisfies Canadian requirements; therefore, Tutarus' international distributor, SeraKey, will have sufficient validation to expand its international sales.

A client-based file security application has been developed to protect files at rest, specifically for large corporations concerned with data privacy within laptops and desktops. SRKFile is fast, easy to use, and is quickly gaining acceptance within the corporate community and the DoD. FIPS certification also provides opportunities to extend specialized licensing of SRK-based software through a Software Development Kit (SDK).
