New Release Cryptlib Security Software Implements TLS-LTS

NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Version 3.4.4 of Cryptlib implements TLS-LTS (long-term support) for use on systems that may have multi-year or even decade-long update cycles.

This new release incorporates what's already deployed for TLS* 1.2, but crucially, fixes the security holes and bugs.

Cryptlib author Dr Peter Gutmann states, "TLS-LTS presents a minimal, known-good set of mechanisms that defends against all currently-known weaknesses in TLS. It would have defended against them ten years ago and has a good chance of defending against them ten years from now, providing the long-term stability that's required by many systems in the field."

TLS, by nature of its complexity and the inclusion of large amounts of legacy material contains numerous security issues. These have been known to be a problem for many years, and they keep coming up again and again in attacks. This long-term stability is particularly important in light of the fact that widespread mainstream adoption of new versions of TLS has been shown to take 15 years or more, with adoption in embedded environments taking even longer.

Leading international traffic enforcement solutions provider Sensys Gatso Group (https://www.sensysgatso.com/) CTO Mr. Timo Gatsonides says "we are a longtime Cryptlib customer and like the trustworthy, easy-to-use library. After a short period and some testing, we had a stable version which gave us the functionality we needed. Choosing Cryptlib really made our task very easy. There was no error-prone testing and debugging required in our application, and we only needed to alter a few lines of code to change from RSA to ECC."

*TLS is an enhanced secure connection and authentication mechanism that represents the current version of the widely-used Internet security technology formerly known as SSL.

The Cryptlib security software development toolkit allows even inexperienced programmers to easily add strong, robust encryption and authentication services to their software applications, without needing to know any of the complex lower-level details. Developers need only learn a single API. Cryptlib enhances system security and privacy, reduced development costs significantly and protects vital commercial information.

The Cryptlib security software has been used and trusted for almost 20 years by many significant organizations worldwide including American Power Conversion Corp., Schneider Electric, MasterCard, Mettler-Toledo, Dassault Systèmes, Lexmark International, The Netherlands Internal Revenue Service, Bose, FireEye, Nitro PDF and Zebra Technologies, among others.
