| Abstract: | US company NTRU Cryptosystems Inc. has announced the availability of the Tumbler software toolkit implementing NTRU. NTRU delivers encryption, decryption, authentication and digital signature features at speeds over 100 times faster than alternative systems. Jim Kotanchik, NTRU Vice President of Engineering states: “Prior to NTRU, users had to accept slow operation or make security compromises. NTRU allows the highest security levels at speeds two orders of magnitude faster than competitive systems, eliminating the need to compromise either speed or security.” The product is suitable for applications where high performance, high security and low power consumption are required, such as wireless data communications, Internet music and video distribution, micropayments, E-commerce and embedded devices. |
