    DSR(TM) - High-Security Encryption System for the Internet CASIO Website
    Challenges Anyone to Break an MDSR-Encrypted Message With a Contest That
    Offers a Cash Prize

    TOKYO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. announces
    development of the MDSR (Multi-Dimensional Space Rotation) encryption
    system for Internet and Intranet data. 
    
    MDSR is a new encryption system designed to meet the need for high-level
    digital data security, which has been generated with the growth of the
    Internet and Intranets. 
    
    The encryption system used by MDSR is based on Multi-Dimensional Space
    Rotation (MDSR) and Time-Dependent Multi-Dimensional Space Rotation
    (MDSR-TD). The main features of this encryption system are: the larger the
    space dimension the more difficult it is to break the code, no special
    hardware requirements for encryption or decryption, and the ability to
    narrowly regulate hierarchy and decryption privileges. The result is an
    encryption system that provides versatile private data management,
    confidential mail security, and security for data sent to multiple
    destinations. Since MDSR also enhances security for data on an Internet
    server, it is also suitable for use by system administrators and Internet
    Service Providers. 
    
    The contest that is detailed on the CASIO Home Page starts from September
    24, with a cash prize for the person who successfully breaks a message
    encoded with MDSR. CASIO plans to use MDSR in future CASIO data
    communication products.
