bullred.GIF (256 bytes) ZIP/390 Version 5 goes GA on December 15th, 2006

Availability of SecurePartner Edition of ZIP/390 and ZIP/VSE for zSeries. 

SecurePartner Edition provides a platform for exclusive secure electronic exchange of files between a sponsor and its partners, with no licensing expense for the partners.  

With the scope of data privacy mandates expanding to include the requirement that data remain secure at rest as well as during transmission, secure transmission alone (e.g., VPN, SFTP, etc.) is no longer enough in many cases.  One way to insure that information is secure both during and after transmission is to exchange strong encrypted files.  Entities wishing to exchange strong encrypted files must agree upon and implement a file encryption format.  ZIP AES and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) are two popular such formats; SecurePartner Edition supports both formats.
