An Article From The Financial Post. Article on Jawz in the Financial Post today! pg. C5 ... here is the article (basically a re-hash of yesterday's news release) Thursday, June 10, 1999 Jaws' XMail guards e-mail Encryption technology: Software protects messages from illegal access Carol Howes Financial Post CALGARY - Borrowing from the highly popular X-Files, market-savvy Jaws Technology Inc. has developed a low-cost, simplified software known as XMail that protects e-mail messages from unauthorized access. Robert Kubbernus, chief executive, said yesterday the company is in discussions with a number of Internet service providers, including BCT.Telus Communications Inc. and Virginia-based PsiNet Inc., to offer the encryption software free with Internet access. Jaws, which has developed the strongest encryption technology on the market, bought the rights to use the XMail name from British Telecom PLC for $5,000. Acquiring the XMail brand name and being able to play on the slogan "Trust No One" were key to releasing the product, Mr. Kubbernus said. "British Telecom believed in our approach and understood the importance of this initiative," Mr. Kubbernus said. "It's one thing to have an incredibly strong or powerful product, but to also control an international brand name helps ensure market ownership." The company, which went public last year, has drawn wide-spread attention for its impenetrable technology. Last year, Jaws offered $5-million to anyone who could break the code of its software. More than 600 hackers tried and failed. Jaws' technology is based on an encryption algorithm that uses 4,096 keys to scramble data. The strongest currently used commercially in the United States is 128-bit key encryption. Its new $20 e-mail program can be downloaded from the Internet and is compatible with most e-mail systems. John Taylor, president of Tech Marketing Associates, a Mountainview, Calif.-based high-tech marketing firm, said the potential for the product is large. Tech Marketing is negotiating with Jaws for the rights to market and distribute XMail in the United States. Mr. Taylor said his private firm's cryptologist was one of about 200 cryptologists who recently broke through the 128-bit key encryption system but has failed to penetrate Jaws' technology. "The information security market is expected to reach $4-billion by the year 2004," said Greg Naderi, a security industry analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "I definitely think Jaws has the right idea and they're moving in the right direction. Jaws has been a pioneer in this market." Mr. Kubbernus said Jaws hopes to achieve a base of 10 million users of the product within 18 months. The company is also preparing to role out an e-mail "shredder" to ensure the complete destruction of e-mails.

A brief update from the interview. -Jaws up to 40 employees. -Bought the name from British Tel because it was internationally recognized,Xmail is Jaws own creation. -Program is Strong,fast and very simple to use. -expect to have 10 million users within 12-18 months and could see 20 million within 2yrs. -They will have many upgrades including Shredder which is ready to go now but won't be launched for a few months. -Other products on the market are weak awkward and slow,JAWZ is seamless. -Jaws are business people first and developers second so they know what the public needs. -JAWZ will self pollinate very quickly. -The market is right as it is in a fear sell mode right now and people will buy what ever is thrown at them. -I liked this part Robert said they are in negotiations with UUNET and British Telecom.
