From: C=US/A=INTERNET/DDA=ID/cypost(a)cypost.com, on 12/23/98 4:01 PM: "Thank you for your inquiry. There are several differences between Navaho Lock and the product offered by Jaws Technologies and I would suggest downloading both and trying them out for free before purchasing. Aside from the superior user interface which becomes very obvious when you first run the program, Navaho Lock uses true and proven encryption algorithms. The user has the choice to use any of the following: using the Microsoft Base Cryptographic provider ver 1.0 the ciphers are RC2-40bit and RC4-40bit; for Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic provider ver 1.0 the ciphers are RC2-128bit, RC4-128bit, DES-56bits, 3DES-168bits, 3DES TWO KEYS-112bits. Jaws uses a proprietary algorithm which is not proven in the industry. "Apart from the issue of publication, all the above features were identified, but not verified. In order to verify these claims we would have to conduct an intensive audit through the system using the source code." "Certain recommendations have been provided to JAWS by Kilborn to enhance the L5 product further. Such comments have NOT been contained due to the highly sensitive nature of the industry and our business. Further testing is scheduled with on-going reviews." These statements can be found on their technical evaluation page and they speak volumes as to reliability of the cipher. Refer to ttp://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/snake-oil-faq.html for more information about encryption software. In addition Navaho Lock has built in file compression to reduce file size. Files can be compressed and encrypted simply by dragging and dropping them into the Drop area, and you do not have to cut and paste files to send emails. Simply press the send button and the program does it all for you. Navaho Lock is the easiest secure email encryption and compression program on the market and we are confident you will be fully satisfied with its features and functionality.
