Data Encryption Systems Makes Powerful Data and Identity Protection Available to U.S. Computer Users

Posted on: Monday, 25 July 2005, 15:01 CDT

TAUNTON, England, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Data Encryption Systems Ltd., the U.K. leader in software copyright protection, data encryption, secure messaging and data storage solutions, has made DESlock+ available to U.S. consumers and businesses. The software can be used free-of-charge for 60 days, and then a software license or a hardware license is required. Non-business users can continue to use the software for free once they register at the end of the 60-day period.

DESlock+ is an advanced software and hardware combination designed to protect computer users against identity and information theft. It transparently protects a computer user's data by providing fast and strong encryption of documents, files, folders and email messages stored on local disks, CDs, USB drives and other media.

Once encrypted, data cannot be viewed by others, nor can email messages be viewed while en route to their destination. Encrypted data can be quickly and simply decrypted using a user's secret key. A new shredder feature, just announced for DESlock+, enables users to automatically encrypt files that are added to the Windows wastebasket, along with various cache and temporary files.

DESlock+ is available for Windows XP or Windows 2000 systems and can be downloaded from http://www.deslock.com/.

"Recent news reports about cyber crime have made U.S. users painfully aware of the enormous problems that result when unprotected information falls into the wrong hands -- especially information stored on laptops," said David Tomlinson, managing director at Data Encryption Systems. "DESlock+ offers computer users a powerful and comprehensive security package to protect information stored locally as well as emails and attachments sent to others."

Pricing and Availability

DESlock+ is available immediately in two formats. A single-key software license is designed for individual users: this license is available free-of-charge to consumers, while a business user license costs $45. A more sophisticated USB token-based version that supports multiple, shared encryption keys for workgroup operation is also available for $174.98, and includes two USB keys in addition to the DESlock+ software. DESlock+ licenses and hardware tokens can be purchased at the company's website: http://www.deslock.com/.
