Ann: NexusDB Security Pack add-ons released

Happy New Year!

The Nexus Team is happy to present the latest addition to the NexusDB
database family:

The NexusDB Security Pack is an add-on for the NexusDB Developer Source
product, which provides a number of highly secure industry standard
data encryption engines. These engines are designed, implemented and
documented under contract by highly regarded data security consultant
Henrick Hellström of StreamSec HB (http://www.streamsec.com ), a
Swedish company specialized in the development of highly secure data
encryption.
The Security Pack is available in three versions:

Security Pack Standard AesCcm, AUD 400.-
Security Pack Standard XtsAes, AUD 400.-
Security Pack Professional, AUD 800.-

The Standard AesCcm package contains 128- and 256-bit AesCcm engines,
which are appropriate for securing live backups.

The Standard XtsAes package contains 128- and 256-bit XtsAes engines,
which are appropriate for securing live data against theft of hardware.

The Professional package includes everything in the standard
AesCcm/XtsAes packages, plus 5 more encryption engines for different
security scenarios, plus an assembler-optimized version of the AesCcm
encryption engine for high-speed backups. The combined strength of
these engines will ensure your security needs are met.

The Security packs are delivered in full source code only. The
installers will install the full Developer Source product plus the
Security Pack source and packages, and the Enterprise Manager and
nxServer downloaded via the installers already have the appropriate
Security Pack engines compiled in. It is designed to work as an
extension engine in NexusDB, thus making integration and maintenance of
the security pack into existing systems very simple. From a database
specific point of view a simple restructure of the tables with the
Encryption engine identifier set to one of the new engines will secure
the database. For detailed specifications and usage scenarios please
