Syncronys Softcorp Begins Shipping Winkrypt: `Now
You'Re Really Safe'
`Lock Your Data; Secure Your E-Mail; Search For Intruders;' Powerful PC
Security Suite Combines Sophisticated Technology With Seamless Integration
Into Windows 95
CULVER CITY, Calif., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Syncronys Softcorp today announced it has
begun shipping WinKrypt, on schedule and as previously announced, to distributors amid strong
early retail interest including purchase commitments from Computer City and Electronics Boutique as
well as distributor Tech Data.
WinKrypt is a Windows 95 security suite consisting of three powerful yet easy-to-use security
technologies: KeyMail, KeyDisk and KeySearch. Strong interest in WinKrypt is being driven by
growing demand from corporate, small business and personal PC users for a sophisticated and
easy-to-use computer security program. WinKrypt has an estimated street price of $49.95.
KeyMail encrypts e-mail through a function button added to the Windows 95 Exchange "message"
tool bar -- utilizing a 256-bit algorithm -- without a need for any decryption software by the
recipient, just an agreed upon password. KeyDisk locks files, directories and applications with the
ease of drag & drop to a desktop icon or a shortcut menu, controlled by passwords or by an
advanced user-programmed cipher-diskette "key." KeySearch provides a powerful utility that
searches all files based on specified factors including creation, modification, access and copy dates,
and can then be used to lock or securely backup a designated set of files; conversely it reveals
whether and when a file has been accessed, copied or modified. In most applications, WinKrypt
conveniently integrates a function button inside the appropriate Windows 95 tool bar which opens a
simple implementation window.
Rainer Poertner, Syncronys chief executive officer, said, "WinKrypt's marriage of highly
sophisticated technology -- such as the advanced, not-for- export 256-bit GOST encryption
algorithm contained in the KeyMail program -- with a user-friendly interface virtually redefines the
PC security category. I am confident that both the novice and expert PC users will be favorably
impressed with the exceptional level of privacy - and peace of mind - now available with WinKrypt."
