Presentation Script
The IBM Cryptographic Strategy is to provide cryptographic products driven by
the requirements of the market, which are standards-compliant, open-systems
solutions, capable of exploiting the advantages of both symmetric (DES, CDMF)
and asymmetric (RSA) cryptography. To that end, IBM is proactive in ...
