DSR(TM) - High-Security Encryption System for the Internet CASIO Website
Challenges Anyone to Break an MDSR-Encrypted Message With a Contest That
Offers a Cash Prize
01:11 p.m Sep 25, 1998 Eastern
TOKYO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. announces
development of the MDSR (Multi-Dimensional Space Rotation) encryption
system for Internet and Intranet data.
MDSR is a new encryption system designed to meet the need for high-level
digital data security, which has been generated with the growth of the
Internet and Intranets.
The encryption system used by MDSR is based on Multi-Dimensional Space
Rotation (MDSR) and Time-Dependent Multi-Dimensional Space Rotation
(MDSR-TD). The main features of this encryption system are: the larger the
space dimension the more difficult it is to break the code, no special
hardware requirements for encryption or decryption, and the ability to
narrowly regulate hierarchy and decryption privileges. The result is an
encryption system that provides versatile private data management,
confidential mail security, and security for data sent to multiple
destinations. Since MDSR also enhances security for data on an Internet
server, it is also suitable for use by system administrators and Internet
Service Providers.
The contest that is detailed on the CASIO Home Page starts from September
24, with a cash prize for the person who successfully breaks a message
encoded with MDSR. CASIO plans to use MDSR in future CASIO data
communication products.
