SSH Communications Security (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading developer of Internet security technologies, today announced immediate availability of the SSH Secure Shell Toolkit, a product that gives developers the tools they need to integrate Secure Shell into their existing network security infrastructure. SSHs security toolkits are built on tested, public cryptographic algorithms and standardized protocols, providing OEMs, enterprises and system integrators with an easy-to-implement, high performance security solution. "When companies want to create a secure network, they often want to be able to integrate, customize and deploy the technology quickly and easily. It was a natural progression for SSH to offer our OEM, corporate and developer customers the SSH Secure Shell functionality currently available to businesses and end-users in an easy to deploy toolkit form," said Tatu Ylönen, founder, chairman and CTO of SSH.

Compaq Computer Corporation is one of the first companies to license the SSH Secure Shell Toolkit for use in its enterprise- leading server operating system, Tru64 UNIX. The toolkit includes server source code in ANSI C format, a toolkit reference guide and documentation on "SSH Mathematics Library for Multiple-Precision Computations."

About SSH Secure Shell

Invented in 1995 by Tatu Ylönen, Secure Shell is a program to log into another computer over the Internet. Secure Shell secures the connection over the Internet by encrypting passwords and other data. Once launched, it transparently provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure networks. Benefits of the Secure Shell technology include ease-of-use, strong security and flexibility. With several million users in over 80 countries, it is the de-facto standard for remote logins, and increasingly many organizations are completely prohibiting any other form of access to their networks from the public Internet. Secure Shell protects terminal connections, file transfers, e-mail access, graphical X11 (X Window System) applications, and TCP/IP connections. Its main applications include Unix computers, system administration, Web site administration, and remote access to corporate resources over the Internet by employees or business partners. SSH Secure Shell has been adopted by major telecommunications suppliers (e.g., MCI), government agencies (e.g., NASA), universities (e.g. Harvard), networking vendors (e.g., Cisco), and numerous corporations.
