eMag Solutions Announces Availability of MediaMerge/TapeSecure; New Software Application Enables the Company's Partners and Clients to Safely Secure Tape Copies at No Cost before Sending Them off-Site for Compliance, Legal Discovery, or Storage.NEW YORK -- eMag Solutions, a leading international electronic discovery company, today announced the availability of its new MediaMerge/TapeSecure (MM/TapeSecure) software application at the LegalTech New York Conference. MM/TapeSecure enables eMag's partners and clients to securely transport data off-site while maintaining regulatory compliance with data security and privacy laws. Today, most organizations send their tape copies off-site for discovery purposes or archiving without encrypting the data. As a result, the important data contained on those tapes becomes vulnerable if the tapes are lost or stolen. And indeed there have been many recent high profile instances of companies losing back-up tapes that contain critical customer information. Through the use of MM/TapeSecure, eMag's partners and clients can encrypt their tape back-ups at no cost during the copy process via a small computer system interface (SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. ) device. In addition, these organizations no longer have to manage multiple proprietary back-up encryption methodologies. 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. is used to encrypt and decrypt To convert secretly coded data (encrypted data) back into its original form. Contrast with encrypt. See plaintext and cryptography. tape data using asymmetric keys. These keys allow a corporation or law firm to use an encryption key for encrypting the data and then provide a decryption (cryptography) decryption - Any procedure used in cryptography to convert ciphertext (encrypted data) into plaintext. key to the vendor for use in decrypting and reading the tape data. MM/TapeSecure users are also able to choose between various encryption algorithms, including 3DES, RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. , DSA (1) (Directory Server Agent) An X.500 program that looks up the address of a recipient in a Directory Information Base (DIB), also known as white pages. It accepts requests from the Directory User Agent (DUA) counterpart in the workstation. , DH, Blowfish and AES. "By utilizing MM/TapeSecure, our partners and clients can now securely copy their valuable tape back-ups at no cost and confidently send them off-site," said Brendan Sullivan, president of eMag Solutions.
