Baltimore Technologies Announces Secure Messaging Toolkit
Baltimore Technologies has announced Secure Messaging Toolkit (SMT), a cryptographic toolkit that allows developers to add security to any messaging application. SMT offers security based on S/MIME, a standard for Internet email security. SMT provides developers with advanced tools to add security features for applications that involve sensitive or monetary-based messaging. Its API offers high-level functions for confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation.
Software developers using SMT can add security without prior knowledge of cryptographic systems or S/MIME protocols. Security features such as digital signatures, message hashing, and key generation are all handled transparently by SMT.
