Because most companies - including those in the insurance industry - are committed to using the Internet for strategic purposes, the need to safeguard your communications and networks is paramount. One of the best methods to combat the theft of information - or its tampering - is through the use of encryption technology.</span></p> <p><span class="cm">The development of advanced encryption techniques is truly the domain of mathematicians and professional cryptanalysts. One of the best books on the subject, Applied Cryptography (2nd Ed.) by Bruce Schneier, is considered the crypto Bible for both professionals and laymen. Bruce is an acclaimed expert and author in the field of cryptography, and in his book you'll become acquainted with such things as crypto techniques and protocols. To learn even more about this fascinating field, you can subscribe to and read back issues of Crypto-Gram, Bruce's monthly newsletter about cryptography, by visiting his web site at <a href="http://www.counterpane.com" target="_blank" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Counterpane');return document.MM_returnValue" class="link_2">www.counterpane.com</a>. Counterpane is the world's leader in Managed Security Monitoring (MSM), and provides the experts and tools you need to do business on the Internet safely.</span></p> <p><span class="cm">Among the many accomplishments of Bruce Schneier is the development of Blowfish, a symmetric block cipher that takes a variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits. Blowfish was designed in 1993 as a fast, free alternative to existing encryption algorithms. Since then it has been analyzed considerably, and it is slowly gaining acceptance as a strong encryption algorithm. Blowfish is unpatented and uncopyrighted, and is available free for all uses. Of late, Bruce and his team at Counterpane have developed Twofish, a block cipher that meets and exceeds a variety of stringent standards. Like Blowfish, Twofish is unpatented and the source code is license-free.</span></p> <p><span class="cm">For a list of products that use the Blowfish and Twofish encryption algorithms, <a href="http://www.counterpane.com/products.html" target="_blank" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Blowfish Products');return document.MM_returnValue" class="link_2">go here</a>. Although Adjusters Asia regularly uses <a href="http://members.tripod.com/markus_hahn/software.html#BFACS" target="_blank" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Get Blowfish Advanced CS 2.12');return document.MM_returnValue" class="link_2">Blowfish Advanced CS 2.12</a> by Markus Hahn, an encryption program that incorporates both Blowfish and Twofish techniques, such use should not be considered an endorsement of the product. For matters of Internet security, we strongly recommend that you consult a company like Counterpane who have the experts on staff to monitor your network for suspicious activities, and to take immediate, effective action to keep your business running smoothly.</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="http://www.adjustersasia.com/" target="_top" onMouseOver="MM_displayStatusMsg('Adjusters Asia -
