Download Now! free for individuals & 90 free day trial for corporate use   System Requirements Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT,2000,XP MS Outlook   For web-based email:  Internet  Explorer 4.01 or up		Take Control of your data! The Zendit System gives you the tools you need to protect your digital rights and privacy by making it easy to encrypt, digitally sign and authenticate the information you send and receive over the Internet. Available now, the Zendit System lays the foundation for you to become an empowered, encryption-enabled net user so you can ensure that the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information is protected. When you click the "Zendit" button instead of "send" you take control of the encryption process, locally on YOUR computer Zendit makes it easy to be "encryption-enabled"! When you download the Zendit System, you are prompted to generate what cryptographers refer to as a "Public Key" and a "Private Key." To make the concept a little easier to understand, Zendit prefers to call them...
						By helping to standardize the use of encryption, we attain many of the things that we take for granted in "real" life—envelopes on mail, locks on our homes, filing cabinets, storage space, the ability to digitally sign our credit cards, and even the ability to pay cash for things without our personal information being associated with our purchases.         Powerful PGP:
						The Zendit System uses encryption algorithms which adheres to the open PGP standards. PGP, the worldwide standard for email encryption,  is a “strong” 128-bit encryption system.  Not surprising, “strong encryption” is better than “weak encryption”: more bits mean a higher level of protection.
		Public Locks and Private Keys Once you have your Public Lock and Private Key, you are officially encryption-enabled.  Now you can Lock (encrypt) your data with your Public Lock so that only you can access it (with your Private Key), or you can send and receive data to and from others using their Public Lock so that they are the only ones who can open it, using (of course) their Private Key.
Highlights Say What? The beauty of Zendit is you don't have to completely understand how it works because the system takes care of the process for you. For instance, you don’t have to track down anyone else’s Public Lock when you want to Zendit. All you have to do is click "zendit" and the Zendit System will take care of the rest! What If? Don’t worry.  If the person you are sending email to isn't encryption-enabled, we'll give you the opportunity to encryption-enable them!  If you select this option,  the Zendit System generates an Interim Lock and Key for the recipient and you can encrypt an email to them.

The growing suite of Sovereign clients includes Browser, Web page, Outlook, Desktop, and in the near future Macintosh, Java, Windows CE and Palm.  These clients are designed with the idea of ease of use.

• Browser—The Surfboard Browser Trust Client allows users to encrypt and/or sign and decrypt and/or verify web pages.  Currently this includes 40+ web-based email systems, including Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, among others.  The Surfboard provides simple to use user interface for the Web Entry system allowing users to digitally sign access to web-based resources.  Unlike other less secure schemes all encryption and decryption happens on the client.

• Web page—Browser Initiated Sovereign (BIZ) allows web pages to initiate the encrypt, sign, decrypt and verify functions seamlessly without the need of selecting an additional button.  All encryption and decryption still happens on the client.

• Outlook—The Outlook Trust Client allows the encryption, signing, decryption and verifying functions in the easy to use Outlook email interface.  The Outlook Trust Client can be configured to automatically encrypt and sign all outbound mail without a change in the user experience.

• Desktop—Currently the Desktop Trust Client is available for Windows 95, 98, XP, and ME, NT, 2000.  It allows the encryption and decryption of files locally on a computer.

• Web Entry—Next generation of authentication.  A digital signature web access control scheme wherein the user “drags and drops” a digital key/digital identity off the surfboard onto a web page.  The web page generates a random number, which is signed by the users private key.  The signature is verified with the users public key and the user is granted or denied access.
