PASSPORT PC TO HOST® and SSL

Secure Remote Host Access with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

The US Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security has granted approval for Zephyr Development Corporation to export and re-export it's PASSPORT SSL telnet terminal emulation software with greater than 64-bit encryption technology.

This approval was granted after an extensive review of Zephyr's PASSPORT software along with the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology being used. Zephyr can now export and re-export PASSPORT SSL host access software to most countries in the world. Some exceptions include countries such as Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan and Angola.

The United States has a critical internal interest in ensuring that important and sensitive information of the public and private sector is protected. As a result of this, the US has a responsibility to maintain control over the export and re-export of this SSL telnet technology.

Secure TN3270E and TN5250E Host Access

PASSPORT telnet terminal emulation software provides TN3270E and TN5250E SSL access to IBM zSeries (S/390), IBM iSeries (AS/400). Both PASSPORT PC TO HOST® and PASSPORT WEB TO HOST® provide SSL telnet server authentication and encryption providing secure data access across TCP/IP networks. SSL telnet terminal emulation sessions are protected from eavesdropping, tampering or message forgery over TCP/IP.

SSL telnet security is critical for those organizations that use telnet terminal emulation for remote access across the Internet to access sensitive data on corporate or government mainframes.
