First ACCESS product to feature next-generation Camellia cipher

ACCESS CO., LTD., a global provider of advanced software technologies to the mobile and beyond-PC markets, today made available the latest technical preview version of NetFront Browser v3.4 for Windows Mobile 5.0.

In addition to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), a U.S. government block cipher encryption algorithm, the latest technical preview version of NetFront Browser for Windows Mobile for the first time also includes Camellia, a high-security, high-performance international standard cipher jointly developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.
