Sorry, Perry. This time you are wrong. Cylink is giving away their
Passport Gold SDK (Security Development Kit). Period. I've just recieved
the documentation on the SDK itself, and am expecting shipment of the SDK
itself about the middle of May.
I was skeptical myself when I read the first post regarding this SDK being
released to the public for free, so I called up Cylink. They promptly
connected me with Peter Bolton <mailto:[email protected]>, who has been
very helpful in getting this SDK into my hot little hands. Included is,
and I quote:
"We hold the world-renowned Diffie-Hellman patent used in public key
encryption. While developing our industry-leading encryption acceleration
engines, we also developed a full suite of services for
Diffie-Hellman-based key exchange, government-sanctioned Data Encryption
Standard (DES) encryption algorithms, Digital Signature Standard (DSS)
document signatures, and the complementary functions you need to
incorporate data security into your product. And it's available to you for
free: a no-cost toolkit and royalty free license."
This is the second paragraph of the fax I received from Cylink after my
following up on the free SDK offer. From the rest of the fax, it seems
that provisions are included in the SDK for DH, DES, DSS, and SHA. X.509
appears to be in the works. The SDK is purported to interoperate with the
Cylink products based on the Secure Enterprise Architecture Stack.
I'm pretty dad-blamed excited about this one, boys. I was trying to wait
till I was sure to say anything on the list. I'm sure.
