Essential Security Software's Free Beta Version of eCipher Available on Download Sites

(June 12, 2008)-- Essential Security Software recently made the beta of eCipher, the next generation of email encryption software, available at no cost on several software download websites. eCipher protects both business and personal email communications by securely encrypting messages and file attachments, and provides additional email protections with features that prevent forwarding, copying, saving, and printing.

eCipher installs in minutes, and once activated, the user can easily send secure email in seconds through either the email client add-in or the eCipher desktop interface.

eCipher adds the ability to deliver secure email and attachments to almost any email client. Additionally, eCipher integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook™. eCipher offers additional protections through advanced digital rights management, which allow the send to control unwanted forwarding, editing, printing, or saving of email communications.

This version enables the recipient to read and securely reply to protected email messages and attachments. eCipher works with most popular email clients, including: MS Outlook™, Thunderbird™, Gmail, AOL, and more, thereby providing businesses with the capability to easily exchange secure communications with legal counsel, medical practitioners, financial counselors, partners and colleagues. The current beta version does not support encryption from multiple email accounts; this feature is currently in development.

eCipher is built upon Essential Security Software’s patented email encryption technology platform. eCipher offers RSA 2048 bit encryption, user ID verification and additional usage protections to ensure that e-mails containing sensitive business and client information comply with HIPAA, SOX and other data safeguard legislation.
