This company will be a huge winner this fall imho. Here is their latest PR: CopyTele Cryptele USS 900 Approved for International Export Advanced Technology For Voice, Fax, Data and Data Storage Encryption Can Ship to All But Seven Countries MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2000--CopyTele, Inc., (Nasdaq/NMS:COPY - news), a developer in imaging and telecommunications technology, announced that it is one of the first companies to receive approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce to internationally export, to all but seven prohibited markets, a128-bit maximum key length encryption capability in its Cryptele(TM) USS-900. The world's first high-grade hardware product to combine in a single device the capability to encrypt voice, fax, email attachments and data file transfer over ordinary telephone lines--as well as to secure computer-stored files--CopyTele's USS 900 is also unique in breaking the $1,000 cost barrier. With this approval, CopyTele's Cryptele USS 900 with 128-bit maximum encryption key length is now licensed for export under section 740.17 (A) (3) and (A) (4) of the Export Administration Regulations. ``Whether internationally or domestically, in both corporate and consumer worlds, it is essential to broaden both the general availability of encryption protection, and to expand availability of increasing levels of encryption strength,'' said Denis A. Krusos, Chairman and CEO of CopyTele. The first in a family of products planned for introduction under the brand name Cryptele(TM), CopyTele's USS-900 solution links the strength of the CITADEL(TM) CCX encryption chip from Harris Corporation with CopyTele's unique technology for combining multiple communication data streams into a single-button system that is totally transparent to the user. ``As equipment used to intercept sensitive data becomes ever more available and increasingly sophisticated,'' said Krusos, ``the need to protect information has dramatically increased. The Cryptele USS-900 with the 128-bit key length offers increased protection orders of magnitude stronger than shorter key length encryption algorithms, and certainly stronger than software encryption solutions.''
