Glueck & Kanja is very pleased to announce a completely new technology
based on the OpenPGP and S/MIME standards. To make a long story short: We
are introducing a virtual keyserver concept and key generation based on
e-mail traffic analysis.

We are posting these news to the GnuPG Users List because we would like to
start a discussion about this approach and because we are looking for
corporations wanting to take part in an early bird program. We view the new
technology as an addition, not a full replacement, of end-to-end security,
allowing organizations to implement cost-effective e-mail security for
everyone. Here are the first few paragraphs of the press release:


Self-Learning CryptoEx Gateway Introduced

Offenbach, December 18th, 2002 - Glueck & Kanja Technology AG, one of
Germany's leading manufacturers of security solutions, today announced a
new product range that will revolutionize the security market for PKI
solutions. By using a self-learning gateway, all employees of an enterprise
can immediately take part in PKI-based encryption and signature of e-mails.
The solution takes information from the enterprise's standard communication
to automatically generate and certify personalized keys for each employee.
Each user can send and receive OpenPGP and S/MIME encrypted messages
straight after the installation of the new technology on a single server,
without increasing the effort for content scanning and virus protection.

Conventional decentralized e-mail encryption is mostly just deployed in
highly sensitive departments that require end-to-end security. CryptoEx
Gateway provides a cost-effective alternative that makes encryption usable
for entire corporations.

The big difference of the CryptoEx Gateway compared to a conventional
gateway solution is that it does not require a manual administration of
keys using a certificate authority. Instead, it works by automatically
processing all operations, especially the key generation and certification.
In other words: The key pairs are generated on demand rather than having to
be maintained manually and in advance by an administrator.
