Black Duck Software releases Export 6.0

Dec 23, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Black Duck Software, a provider of open source software knowledge, adoption and governance, has released Export 6.0, a component of the Black Duck Suite.

The Suite is a comprehensive, automated code management platform which enables the enterprise-scale use and management of open source software (OSS) in software development. An enhancement to Black Duck Suite 6, Export 6.0 includes expanded functionality using Rapid ID, Black Duck's code identification technology, as well as an enhanced Encryption Bill of Materials, the company said.

With Rapid ID, Export 6.0 enables developers and export managers to teach code IDs to the Suite, speeding the encryption analysis process to discover undetected encryption algorithms. Rapid ID speeds the analysis process by allowing companies to automatically recognize and identify files with encryption algorithms.

The enhanced Encryption Bill of Materials (BOM) improves tracking of a customer's export data. The BOM includes newly-added customer-defined fields for tracking custom data and audit trail capability to enable customers to track comments and other events, including identification, reset, declarations, exclusions and results, the company added.

"Open source encourages and simplifies software reuse, which saves development cycles and speeds time-to-solution," said Bill McQuaide, Executive vice president of Products and Strategy, Black Duck Software. "However, companies may be unaware of encryption technology in their software products, especially in third-party and OSS code. Black Duck Export 6.0 provides powerful new tools to detect encryption algorithms, enabling companies to easily and quickly comply with software export regulations." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
