"The
innovative features of VPN Tracker 2.0 speak for themselves," said Till
Schadde, equinux's CEO. "We've not only focussed on the implementation
of certificate support, but also concentrated on providing a graphically easy-to-use
interface, including characteristics such as drag and drop to import and
export certificates." Certificates
can be centrally managed by means of digital generation, signing and issuing,
giving network administrators flexibility, control and greater reliability
for establishing user identities on the internet. Each element of the network
is authenticated and the validation by a trusted third party guarantees that
keys are being exchanged between two known parties. VPN
Tracker's digital cryptology provides full scale CA services, including RSA
keys and X.509 certificates for device authentication. It can respond to
certificate-signing requests in PEM and DER format whilst existing
certificates can additionally be imported in PKCS#12 format. Version 2.0 is
also compatible with internal or external Certification Authorities (CA's). Editions, Pricing and Availability VPN
Tracker version 2.0 is, as previously, available in both personal and
professional editions. In terms of cerificates, the personal edition has the
capability to create certificate requests, on top of which the professional
edition is able to create certificates and CA's and sign certificate
requests. VPN
Tracker 2.0 can now be purchased via download from the equinux website or
from authorised VPN Tracker consultants worldwide. Pricing for the personal
edition is 89,90 dollar whilst that of the professional is 199,90 dollar. equinux's introductory offer runs until the 06/06/2003 and allows the purchase of a single personal license for the former price of 79,90 dollar. Free upgrades to version 2.0 will be available for all purchases of VPN Tracker as of the 25/04/03, for which equinux will automatically distribute new serial numbers. All customers to have purchased the software outside of the grace period are entitled to an upgrade, starting at 19 dollar.
