Tool Offers an
Enterprise Level of Security over the Public Internet for Online Conversations.
BlowSearch (www.blowsearch.com),
a leading provider of Internet search tools, has launched the BlowSearch
Secured Messenger, a Windows-based messaging program that encrypts information
for secure online conversations.
The BlowSearch
Secured Messenger is available at bsm.blowsearch.com in both paid and free
(ad-supported) versions.
Enterprise class
encryption is made possible through the use of 4096 bit random public-private
key technology in conjunction with other advanced encryption layers. The
BlowSearch Secured Messenger can support an unlimited number of simultaneous
conversations at once. Files can be transferred between different users,
even those behind a proxy firewall, through the use of its server assisted
file transfers.
"The rapid adoption
of instant messaging programs has raised security concerns. Instant messaging
services are more immediate but information is just as exposed as regular
email," said Richard Kahn, chief operating officer of BlowSearch. "Our
goal was to develop a product that would seamlessly work with today's other
popular IM products while also offering an Enterprise level of security.
With the release of our Enterprise level encrypted Instant Messenger, we
plan to change the way companies do business."
BlowSearch Secured
Messenger is the most recent addition to BlowSearch’s suite of Internet
tools. BlowSearch also offers a proprietary Meta PPC search engine and
the BlowSearch Toolbar, an application that runs within a Web browser.
The BlowSearch Toolbar provides access to BlowSearch services such as weather,
a live ABC News feed and pop up blocking, while visiting any site on the
Internet.
The paid version
of the Messenger is priced at $9.95 per quarter for 4096 bit encryption,
$7.95 per quarter for 256 bit and $2.95 per quarter for 56 bit. The free
(ad-supported) version includes 56 bit encryption.
