Poland develops NATO e-mail safety codes

Published: 12 May 2001 y., Saturday
Specialists from the State Protection Office (UOP) have developed an e-mail safety code scheme for use in NATO countries' national security systems, PAP reported on 10 May. "This is in line with the best Polish traditions. After all, it was the Poles who broke [Nazi Germany's] Enigma [code]," Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek said during a meeting with UOP head Zbigniew Nowek. Nowek refused to elaborate on the new e-mail encryption system, saying only that it is better than those used in the U.S. and Germany. "We have been commissioned to train nine NATO candidates in security. This is a big distinction," Buzek said.
