Aladdin Systems Ships Private File, The Easiest Cross-Platform Encryption Software Available2 For 1: Two-User License Priced Under $50Macworld EXPO, Boston, MA, Aug. 6-8th, (Meeting Room #2064, Bayside) Watsonville, CA-- August 13, 1997 -- Aladdin Systems, Inc., developer of the worldwide compression and installation standards, StuffIt(r) and InstallerMaker(tm), today announced Private File(tm). It is the easiest way to protect a user's sensitive information for secure transmissions over the Internet (via e-mail, FTP sites, Web sites, etc.). The Private File hybrid CD provides the option of installing Windows 95/NT and/or Macintosh versions for each license. Private File uses powerful 128-bit encryption to encrypt files and folders and is as easy to use as Drag and Drop! "According to a recent study, e-mail is the most popular Internet activity. With the tremendous growth of the Internet, more and more people are sending their information electronically. There are several options today to secure that information, but none are as easy to use as Private File-- plus it's Windows and Macintosh compatible," said Rakesh Chabra, Private File Product Manager. Private File consists of two drag and drop applications: PF Encrypt(tm) and PF Decrypt(tm). To encrypt, drop files and folders onto the PF Encrypt application and enter a password. The items will be encrypted as a compressed single document, ready for transmission. The recipient needs only to drop the encrypted document onto PF Decrypt and enter the password at the prompt to access the file(s). Future versions of Aladdin's StuffIt Expander freeware for Windows and Macintosh will also include PF Decrypt capabilities. Private File integrates e-mail programs to simplify transmission over the Internet. After selecting the files and folders to be sent, the user can choose "Encrypt and Mail..." from the menu to automatically attach encrypted files to e-mail messages. The file is then encrypted and placed into a mail message. To send, simply enter an address. Private File incorporates the award-winning StuffIt technology for its compression, allowing users to save time when sending files over the Internet. "With Private File Aladdin has delivered a low cost but powerful cross platform solution for the millions of users that do business on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms," said Jonathan Kahn, Vice President.
