Kazaa Founders Launch New Secure P2P Technology
 

STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2003--Joltid announces the commercial launch of PeerEnabler, based on next generation secure peer-to-peer technology.
PeerEnabler is a revolutionary content distribution platform, including the P2P Networking software component that is currently being downloaded by web users and will shortly be delivered to and used by tens of millions of consumers. This will create the world's largest and fastest distribution platform -- a network whose capacity greatly exceeds other server-based content distribution networks.
For software developers and content publishers, PeerEnabler will greatly increase and broaden the services available and reduce the cost for content distribution.
"Peer-to-peer technology provides the most efficient way of distributing content as it pushes the content to the ultimate edge of the network -- the consumer's PCs. PeerEnabler is designed to guarantee high-speed downloads and save bandwidth for the publisher and the ISPs in a secure way," says Niklas Zennstrom, founder of Joltid and co-founder of Kazaa.
PeerEnabler features stronger security than traditional server-based solutions, as all files are digitally signed to prevent tampering, and fully protects user's privacy by giving them the possibility to control the behavior of PeerEnabler.
"We expect to see PeerEnabler as widely used as Kazaa, over time. What we are doing is essentially establishing a new secure transport layer on the Internet, one that is much more powerful and scalable than anything previously available," continues Zennstrom.
Joltid's PeerEnabler Software Development Toolkit enables anyone to develop solutions that benefit from distributing files using PeerEnabler. It is available for download at www.joltid.com.
