Virtual admin office by Zertificon Solutions now with active encryption
Berlin, August 16, 2005 – Zertificon Solutions GmbH released Version 2.2 of its Z1 SecureMail Gateway. The administration management of this server based solution for e-mail encryption and signature now contains an option for WebMessengers. This allows a security policy for active encryption and a trustworthy e-mail exchange via insecure data connections and the internet. Version 2.2 is available now.
Until now an organization depended on its business partner when it aimed to establish a trustworthy e-mail communication. Sensitive messages could be protected against unauthorized reading only if the communication partner was using PKI technology (S/MIME or PGP key or certificates) or if additional software was installed.
This changed now with Z1 SecureMail Gateway in its new version 2.2 . From now on an organization is able to realize its security policy for e-mail encryption actively and independently from its communication partner. Z1 SecureMail Gateway supports trustworthy e-mail exchange via a -žsecured WebLocker”. The e-mail is stored encoded on the Z1 SecureMail Messenger, a separate server, and sender as well as receiver will be informed via e-mail. Afterwards the receiver can log-in to his personal WebLocker via a browser, read the e-mail, forword it, answer it etc. . The access via the internet is password protected and the data connection is HTTPS-encrypted.
Prospective buyers may experience the functionality of Z1 SecureMail Messenger by a demo system very easyly by themself. The only have to send an e-mail to their own e-mail address with a specific syntax. Granted that the own e-mail address is firstname.familyname@company.com , they have to send the e-mail to firstname.familyname#company.com@messenger.zertificon.com. The sender receives in this test two e-mail messages that describe how to log-in to the -žsecured WebLocker” and how to read the encrypted transmitted e-mail.
