PGP CORPORATION AND ELEMENT 5 PARTNER ON E-COMMERCE AND SECURE MESSAGING

E-commerce for PGP Corporation now driven by element 5's global system;
element 5's electronic messaging now secured by PGP Universal

Palo Alto, CA/30 June, 2004 – PGP Corporation, a global leader in digital information security, today announced that it has selected element 5, a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital River, Inc., as its worldwide e-commerce solutions partner. All online purchasing of PGP products and services is now powered by element 5's global commerce systems, including Crystal Reports® from Business Objects®.

"Global reach is critical to our success. This is true in our channel strategy, our market penetration strategies, and our numerous partnerships around the world," said Phillip Dunkelberger, president and CEO, PGP Corporation. "Partnering with element 5 will help broaden our global reach and improve operational efficiencies of our online store."

PGP® Universal
PGP Universal provides practical, wide-scale deployment of secure messaging. By moving email encryption responsibility away from users to the network, encryption, decryption, and digital signatures are automatic and user-transparent. Messages are encrypted to individual keypairs and secured even when recipients have no keys. PGP Universal can quickly and cost-effectively secure up to 100% of an enterprise's users-both inside and outside the organization. PGP Universal Server supports both OpenPGP and X.509 + S/MIME standards and delivers low-cost deployment through its self-deploying, proxy-based architecture. Keys are created dynamically, allowing IT control over bidirectional policy enforcement.

element 5 Partner Selection Criteria
element 5's e-commerce outsourcing system meets critical PGP Corporation criteria:

  • "Self-service"- PGP Corporation can add new products and pricing to its Web commerce site directly.
  • element 5 does business in 18 currencies and manages all money conversions.
  • Unlike U.S. banks, element 5 accepts localized payment methods, including local debit and credit cards, wire transfers, and more.
