The core technology acquired under this acquisition includes Indicii Salus LimitedÂ'sflagship security solution which, unlike other PKI offerings, is based onserver-centric architecture with all information held securely in a central locationthus providing a central platform necessary to host and administer central keymanagement solutions. The central management and distribution of secure emailcommunications is performed through a Private Key Server which is a robust portableencryption engine generating the public/private key pairs required to encrypt andthen decrypt the messages after receipt. The software acquired includes the emailclient plug-ins necessary to use the service. This proprietary software is thus ableto provide a central encryption and management capability which in turn allowscentral authentication and management of private keys.
Further, this technology encrypts email between the client and server for securetransport and thereby it ensures integrity and confidentiality. The cryptographyfeatures of the software work across all portability platforms, is object-orientatedand integrates support for algorithm replacement. From a user point of view, theencryption process is quick, even when a user is using slow dial-up lines. Theapplications offered by this proprietary software promote substantial savings inadministration and the cost effectiveness of digital security across email platformsin that apart from the one-off client plug-in all management is central andperformed on the Private Key Server where all security information is held.
This model is regarded as operating a superior generation of encryption softwarewhich offers users the autonomy to perform safe and secure transactions from anydevice from any location. This significantly promotes secure email userconfidentiality and enables users to sign messages digitally with very secure publickey technologies which, from a userÂ's perspective, is seamless and non disruptive.The technology is designed primarily to serve as a digital-signature andcertificate-based message integrity security tool for corporate environments howeverthe software potentially offers a number of other important security applicationsacross PDAs, GSM and mobile telephones as well as from any platform-based PC.
