New Secured eMail Sets Standards for Encryption Technology, Secure Architecture, and Product Usability

Powerful 256-Bit Encryption Now Available to Home Users, Professionals and Corporations

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/05/05 -- InfoSecurity -- Secured eMail Limited today announced its new Secured eMail secure messaging system and products for home users, professionals, and corporations. After examining existing email technologies and security shortcomings, Secured eMail developed an innovative new solution that combines three powerful encryption technologies with a unique patented "secure channel" architecture between sender and recipient that bypasses vulnerabilities inherent in servers, gateways, and the Internet. Secured eMail is seamlessly integrated with MS Outlook, allowing users to simply click on a "Send Secured" button to send their emails and attachments with absolute security to their intended recipient. Non-Secured eMail users can read encrypted email and even reply with their own secure messages by downloading a FREE Secured eMail reader.

A Secured eMail Enterprise Edition, planned for release in Q1 2005, is being previewed at the InfoSecurity Trade Show in New York, NY December 6-8, 2005.

"Secured eMail is dedicated to developing messaging solutions that provide the absolute highest levels of email security and functionality," stated Secured eMail CEO, Peter Davin. "Now everyone from individuals to enterprises can have this powerful tool to ensure that their emails are safe and protected from hackers or other unwanted viewers."

Overview: Email Security Weaknesses

In route to their final destinations, emails travel in cyberspace and pass through numerous gateways and mail servers where copies are made and stored of each email. These represent potential "weak points" where email can be stolen or viewed. There are even so called "sniffer programs" designed to "sniff" up a specific email or a number of emails written from X or received by Y. This is why sensitive and confidential information should only be sent using email encryption software, such as Secured eMail, as the best insurance available against email theft.

Secured eMail Overview: Combining World-Class Security with Ease of Use

Triple Protection System with 256-Bit Encryption

Secured eMail® uses a combination of AES(TM) (Advanced Encryption Standard), the Secured eMail System SKG and SHA-1 algorithms to provide the highest level of secure email communication. These three factors together ensure that the email will be 100% secure from sender to receiver.

Dynamic One-Time Keys

To enhance email security dramatically, Secured eMail creates/generates a unique code key between sender and recipient for every new email sent in what is referred to as one-time dynamic keys. The Secured eMail patented System SKG(TM) generates 160-bit symmetric and dynamic one-time keys with the assistance of the Sha-1 algorithm. The email is then encrypted with the well-known AES256 algorithm which extends the size of the keys to 256 bit. The result is a message that can only be read by authorized parties.

Secure Channels - Eliminate Server, Gateway & Internet Vulnerability

Secured eMail creates "secure channels" between two individual email addresses and their individual computers. The security advantage is that the email is sent directly C2C, computer to computer, instead of computer-to-server or server-to-server. Most other secure communications applications use a dedicated security server which can be a potential weak link where hackers can gain access to the security system.

Easiest to Use - Interacts Well with All Email Types

Secured eMail works seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook© by installing a new button called "Send Secured" as a separate option to the regular MS Outlook mail "Send" button. Users just have to click the "Send Secured" button to have their emails and attachments encrypted and sent securely to their recipient. Anyone with an email account can receive and read encrypted Secured eMail messages by simply downloading a FREE Reader version, which works with all software, PCs, and Web-based email services. Non-Secured eMail users can receive and read secure encrypted messages and even reply with their own messages and attachments using the same secure encryption technology.

Secured eMail Editions for Home, Professional, and Corporate are available immediately with prices starting at $41.95 USD per single user. FREE trial versions are available at www.securedemail.com.
