JAWS Announces Launch Date for 'L5' Bit Encryption PR Newswire, Thursday, April 23, 1998 at 09:50 CALGARY, Alberta, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- JAWS Technologies Inc. (BB: JAWZ) is pleased to announce the launch dates for its "L5" 4096 Bit Encryption Software. The estimated timelines necessary to produce the "L5" Encryption software to the Company's specifications have been moved to May 10th, 1998. Announcements regarding the Company's $5,000,000 "Break the Code" Contest should be made at approximately the same time. The Launch of "L5" was originally scheduled for the first week in March. After delivering the software to a media duplicating service it was discovered that the manufacturer was unable to bypass the anti-duplication software component on the "L5" CD master copy. The anti-duplication component of the "L5" software is proprietary to JAWS. As a result, management has decided that the manufacturing process will be brought "in house." The required duplication machinery has been purchased by the Company and will be installed shortly. JAWS Technologies Inc. is the owner and developer of what is considered to be the world's strongest encryption software, JAWS "L5" 4096 Bit Encryption. With its numerous programming enhancements and abilities, JAWS "L5" is fully developed security software that is ideal for both personal and corporate security use. With the explosion of Internet commerce and the skyrocketing use of computer data systems, computer security has risen to become a primary concern for leading edge IT professionals. JAWS Technologies Inc. is moving forward with its flagship "L5" products as well as further research and development in the information security field. The Corporation anticipates several world-class product launches within the next 24 to 48 months. Security has become the single most important issue in the current IT paradigm shift. As the rapid change from private system computing to public system computing continues, the opportunities for intruders and the need for improved security escalates. Amateur and highly paid professional hackers are out-pacing the abilities of the security solution providers. Billions of dollars of information could wind up in the wrong hands. Such security issues will become even more pronounced in the future.
