Redwood Shores, California-based Pretty Good Privacy Inc has signed its first licensing deal for its encryption software, with FTP Software Inc. FTP plans to use the encryption software in its newly-launched suite of network applications, OnNet 32 v 2.0. The software is embedded within the suite’s Mail OnNet electronic mail application. A two-icon system enables users access to a tool bar, designating options to encrypt or decrypt a message and make a digital signature. Mail messages can also be left on a server or computer in an encrypted format, to be decrypted and read at will. FTP Software’s implementation of the Pretty Good encryption software is interoperable with current freeware versions.
