Topsoft, the token based security specialist, says that the general public is still scared of encryption, despite its ubiquity in the business world.

The company has added a couple of new names to its management team. Tom Parker, formerly of ICL where he headed up the Pathway project has joined the company as a non-executive director and Ian Hale has taken over as MD.

Both are keen to rid encryption of its bad image with Joe Public, saying that industry must take a hand holding approach to ease people into the technology.

We met up with them in London today, and they were such nice chaps we had to give them a mention.
