And a different perspective from the New York Times:
(excerpted)
"The type of encryption that was broken, known as DES, for Data Encryption Standard, Has traditionally been used by banks and other financial institutions for protecting the transmission of funds and other transactions requiring high security. It has also been used in certain instances by the US military.
Because of security concerns, many business users are increasingly employing Triple DES, in which the length of the digital key that unlocks the scrambled data is only three times as large but exponentially more secure. Triple DES has never been broken."
****Okay, "TRIPLE DES" never been broken? Guess everybody will wanna use THAT one! How does JAWZ's encryption device compare/contrast with TRIPLE DES? Also, the final paragraph of the article gives info on the $10,000 winners--should JAWZ take a chance and solicit/invite THEM to try?:
"The winners...were John Gilmore, a computer privacy and civil liberties activist, and Paul Kocher, a 25-year-old cryptographer who has gained notoriety in recent years for clever attacks on security systems, including those designed to protect smart cards & Internet software."
****Hello, bbruin! I have been watching JAWZ the past week and am on the verge of investing in JAWZ--for one thing, I LOVE the name and believe that if it is as strong as they claim it could be the next big thing in internet/computer security. Is that the consensus of the thread?
