Zero-Knowledge Systems will release the first complete Internet privacy utility for consumers in September 1998. Using full strength, fully exportable encryption technology developed by some of the worlds leading cryptographers this product allows Internet users to become completely anonymous on the Internet, using digital pseudonyms and public key cryptography to establish and authenticate digital identities. The Zero-Knowledge Systems development team includes Ian Goldberg who achieved international recognition for his part in breaking the Netscape encryption scheme as well as the development team of the Archie Internet protocol. Forrester Research has estimated that 9 million people will have purchased an Internet privacy solution by the year 2000.
