Black Duck Software Releases Export 6.0 with Rapid ID


Dec 12, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Black Duck Software, a provider of open source software knowledge, adoption and governance solutions, announced the release of Export 6.0, a component of the Black Duck Suite.

According to a release, the Suite is an 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.

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. More than 20,000 open source projects include encryption algorithms strong enough to require filing with the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) if the code is exported from the United States. 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.

Sonus has benefitted from the use of Export to enable it to compete in the worldwide mobile market while ensuring compliance with the export/import regulations of various countries.


Black Duck Software said that Export 6.0 is available immediately.
