OpenTrust

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 30, 2007 ) LONDON —— Alfresco Software, Inc., the first and leading provider of an open source enterprise content management solution today announced that IDEALX, publisher of OpenTrust™, the Open Source Trust and Security Suite, has developed the Alfresco encryption plug-in. This encrypts and decrypts content in a highly secure collaborative workspace.IDEALX’s new Java Plug-In, is fully integrated into Alfresco and is natively based on the Alfresco aspect-oriented rules and actions infrastructure. By applying the cypher rule to a specific workspace, after setting the associated key, this plug-in enables a document to be encrypted in PKCS#5 format prior to upload. When downloading an encrypted document, the user can then decrypt it, by entering the correct key into his previously created private workspace. The encrypted document will remain in the original workspace until the user has decrypted the document in his private workspace. This plug-in, known as IDX-eDoc, published under the Mozilla Public Licence 1.1, is one of the components making up OpenTrust™, IDEALX’s Open Source global security suite. Olivier Guilbert, CEO of IDEALX enthuses: OpenTrust is a modular platform for integrating trust into a global infrastructure. Just like Alfesco, IdealX was one of the first European Open Source contributors and remains dedicated to contributing to the development of security and trust solutions for leading open source software. Thus, the OpenTrust Plug-in for Alfresco.“Alfresco was designed to be as simple to use as a shared drive with the robustness, security and auditing of a full Enterprise Content Management Suite,” said John Powell, CEO, Alfresco Software, Inc. “This plug-in allows users to simply create highly secure workspaces building on the existing HTTPS, Kerberos authentication, Service Oriented Auditing and extensible permission framework of Alfresco. This is a great example of the power and innovation of the open source model where developers can add capabilities due to the access they have to source code and the publicly available knowledge on the project.”About Alfresco Software, Inc.Alfresco Software Inc. is the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management.
