RSA Releases JSAFE 1.1 Encryption for Java

RSA Data Security, Inc. unveiled today its JSAFE 1.1 encryption engine for Java, the latest release of RSA’s Java encryption software which is designed to offer improved performance while leveraging customers’ investment in existing JSAFE 1.0 and BSAFE code.

RSA was one of the first companies to release an encryption engine
specifically for Java programmers. The JSAFE security component suite
provides Java programmers with privacy, authentication, and data integrity
routines that have been written entirely in the Java language.

Java developers can incorporate JSAFE technology to build secure applets that support public key cryptography. This type of technology enables both
privacy and authentication, the basic requirements for online electronic
commerce. Also included with JSAFE 1.1 are sample applications, complete
with source code and easy-to-use self-test modules.

JSAFE 1.1 was designed specifically for high performance security
operations. The performance of this release of JSAFE is double that of the
previous version. JSAFE 1.1 works in conjunction with BSAFE, combining the
Java language with native code, which contributes to its higher performance.

The JSAFE 1.1 SDK has a price of $290, with runtime licenses for products
which use JSAFE available on a royalty, per-seat or annual fee basis. For
