They have a lovely "crypto challenge" with a $5,000,000 US prize.

The only interesting page is:
<http://www.jawstech.com/products/jawsl5/evaluation/display.html>

The only reason I mention it, is because it recently appeared in a
pop-press free monthly magazine, listed before PGP5, and Blowfish Advanced
97. The magazine's web site: www.tcp.ca
