This is interesting. New Oak Communications Receives Approval to Export 56-bit Encryption BusinessWire, Monday, December 15, 1997 at 13:16 ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 1997--New Oak Communications, Inc., the leading provider of Infrastructure for Extranets, announced today that it received the highest level of export approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce for its NOC 4000 Extranet Access Switch. The approval enables New Oak to export 56-bit encryption to almost any country without an individual validated license. By receiving government approval coincident with first customer shipment, New Oak will not have to delay international shipments waiting for future approval. "This broad export approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce ensures that our customers will benefit from the strongest encryption which can be broadly exported from the U.S.," said Mike Feinstein, New Oak vice president of product marketing. "New Oak is further committed to working with the Department of Commerce to maintain the highest level of export approval permitted by law so that our customers can always take advantage of the strongest allowable encryption." New Oak is aggressively pursuing international distribution worldwide. This approval guarantees that products shipped to international customers will include, at minimum, 56-bit encryption. The approval does not preclude New Oak from shipping higher levels of encryption with a license. New Oak's NOC 4000 ships to all U.S. customers with 128-bit encryption. About the NOC 4000 The NOC 4000 is a market and technology breakthrough for remote access over the Internet. Called an Extranet Access Switch, the NOC 4000 marks a paradigm shift for remote access from the complexity of expensive remote access servers, dial-up ports, and leased lines to a single, comprehensive, easily managed device that is optimized for Extranet access. The NOC 4000 combines cutting-edge technology in VPNs, tunneling, encryption, bandwidth management, firewall security, and routing in a single hardware platform. With the NOC 4000, each user gets a Personal Extranet which provides customized access to networked services and resources based on the unique needs of that user. About New Oak Communications Based in Acton, Massachusetts, New Oak Communications was founded in 1996 by New England's leading executives and engineers in the networking industry--from companies including Bay Networks (NYSE:BAY), Forrester Research (NASDAQ:FORR), 3Com (NASDAQ:COMS), Raptor (NASDAQ:RAPT), and Shiva (NASDAQ:SHVA). The Company is the leading provider of Infrastructure for Extranets, enabling corporate partners and employees to use the Internet for private communication, commerce, and collaboration.
