C2NET AND UK WEB OFFER UNCRIPPLED SECURITY SOFTWARE TO WEB USERS IN ALL COUNTRIES
by sameer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For Release Sept. 20, 1996 C2Net: Sandy Sandfort +1 510-986-8770 UK Web: Dave Williams +44 0113 222 0046 C2NET AND UK WEB OFFER UNCRIPPLED SECURITY SOFTWARE TO WEB USERS IN ALL COUNTRIES LEEDS - Today, UK Web Ltd. and C2Net (Community ConneXion, Inc.) announced the worldwide availability of Stronghold security software for the World Wide Web. Stronghold is a commercial version of Apache, a powerful and popular server software package for the Internet. Stronghold uses "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL), a cryptographically strong protocol to protect credit card numbers and other sensitive information from Internet eavesdroppers. Stronghold also comes with a full range of "certificate authority" tools, documentation, easy installation, and technical support. Export versions of other Web servers, such as the Netscape Enterprise and Microsoft Internet Information Server have intentionally crippled encryption security. Stronghold uses uncompromised strong encryption world-wide. This is possible because it was written using software developed outside the US. Stronghold uses the full power of 128-bit symmetric encryption for maximum security. (Competing servers exported from the US use only 40-bit, low-level security). Stronghold is fully compatible with all secure browsers, including Netscape Navigator and Microsoft and Internet Explorer. "Stronghold is based on the most powerful Web server and the most secure Internet encryption," says Mark Cox, Stronghold product manager. "Users of Stronghold can be sure that their commercial transactions are completely private and secure." Dave Williams, Managing Director of UK Web, adds "Stronghold has already proved very popular in the US and Canada, where it has been available nearly a year. UK Web will now be selling Stronghold exclusively outside the US and Canada, giving the rest of the world the first opportunity to buy this top-rated product. We think it will be very popular." UK Web is a leading authority on the Apache web server. They are committed to information-sharing and openness. They also offers commercial support for Apache. UK Web publishes a weekly newsletter called "Apache Week" which is available free of charge on the Internet. The Apache Week Web site can be found at http://www.apacheweek.com/. "In the past year the demand for an international version of Stronghold has been steadily increasing," said Sameer Parekh, President of C2Net, "but we've never been willing to give our customers a false sense of security by shipping a defective product. We're very glad UK Web can satisfy the need for an international version of Stronghold."" International Stronghold costs 329 pounds, which includes free minor upgrades. It is free for non-commercial use by educational and not-for-profit organisations. Full server source code is provided as well as the pre-compiled server. It is available the most commonly used Unix platforms, including Linux, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, IRIX and AIX. The server is based on the popular Apache module API, which gives access to a wide range of third-party server add-on "modules", most available for free. Within the United States and Canada Stronghold is available from C2Net. (See http://stronghold.c2.net/) Full details of International Stronghold are available on the UK Web's web site, at http://stronghold.ukweb.com/. The software is available for free download and evaluation. UK Web Limited is a leading Internet services company specialising in server technology, Internet security, business solutions and effective site design. C2Net (also known as Community ConneXion, Inc.) is the leading provider of uncompromising security on the Internet. C2Net provides a wide array of Internet privacy services and powerful network security software. Portions of Stronghold were developed by the Apache Group, and were taken with permission from the Apache Server http://www.apache.org/. This product includes software developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Apache-SSL HTTP server project. This product includes software developed by Eric Young (eay(a)mincom.oz.au) Netscape Navigator and Netscape Enterprise are trademarks of Netscape Communications Corporation. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Internet Information Server are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Stronghold is a trademark of Community ConneXion, Inc.

How's the list?
by Phil Fraering 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I thought I'd ask how the list is going... it seems to have gone downhill; there are now totally gratoitous insults to tcmay that don't seem to serve any purpose besides making sure the archive (if there is one) isn't fit for family viewing. Hey, at least when I was insensitive, I put effort into it. And I didn't use an automatic daemon. Anyway, I thought I'd catch up on current events with the following questions: * I take it SSL still hasn't been strengthened? * I'm now working part of the time at a company that has a lot of mail-order sales; are any of you aware of how much credit card fraud is going on out there right now? Might some of this actually be from unsecure SSL transactions? * Did anyone come up with any interesting embellishments (or maybe precedents?) to my bidirectional Dining Cryptographers idea? I can't believe I'm the first to come up with this... I guess it's public domain now, since I missed the one-year deadline for patenting it. Well, I gotta run...

"This way to the egress"

P.T. Barnum also said something about suckers, too... Cheers, Bob Hettinga ----------------- First Data, First USA Paymentech, GE Capital Invest in First Virtual Holdings Wednesday 96.09.18 - San Diego, CA USA - First Virtual Holdings, Inc., developer of Internet transaction systems, announced today that First Data Corp. and First USA Paymentech, Inc., two of the nation's largest credit card processing companies, and GE Capital have invested a total of $12.5 million in First Virtual Holdings, Inc. "This strategic alliance reinforces our belief that electronic commerce is coming of age on the Internet," said Lee Stein, chairman and chief executive officer of First Virtual. "It creates a powerful new combination between First Virtual, with its proven on-line transaction system, and leading credit card acquiring and processing companies. This represents a tremendous vote of confidence in our system by three industry leaders." In addition, the companies are discussing joint marketing agreements based on the concept of giving more than 200 million card holders automatic buying power on the Internet using the secure VirtualPIN(TM) identifier from First Virtual. "We expect that this partnership will enable First Virtual to significantly broaden its global marketing," Stein said. "Our secure e-mail based system is proven, easy to use and doesn't require specialized technologies. The VirtualPIN(TM) serves as the only identifier an individual needs for conducting business in cyberspace. It enables sellers and buyers on the Internet to link securely to any currency, payment system or standard verification system. With First Data, First USA Paymentech and GE Capital as partners, we anticipate more rapid acceptance of the Internet as an important distribution channel for businesses of all sizes." Stein said First Virtual created its VirtualPIN and Internet payment system to be part of a more complex transactional e-mail system for future marketing, customer service, communications and transaction applications. "The VirtualPIN provides the single identifier that can tie together all parts of the marketing and distribution chain: initial information, outbound offer, purchase order, confirmation, credit verification, transaction settlement and fulfilment of the order," said Stein. "The VirtualPIN serves as a convenient and secure alias for an individual's identity, including e- mail address and personal, demographic, shipping and financial information. This gives new power and privacy to the individual and puts him or her at the center of the electronic marketing universe." Stein said Pamela Patsley, chief executive officer of First USA Paymentech, Inc., and John McKinley, chief technology officer of GE Capital, have been elected to the First Virtual board of directors. ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah(a)shipwright.com) e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "'Bart Bucks' are not legal tender." -- Punishment, 100 times on a chalkboard, for Bart Simpson The e$ Home Page: http://www.vmeng.com/rah/

Current English U.S. Presidential betting odds are now offered on 2 services, but there's no Perot bet at Ladbroke House, and no Harry Browne on either. Ladbrokes customer service @ +44 181 8621820 is still at Clinton 1:7, Dole 4:1 As promised, this time our roving reporter inquired about Harry Browne. The Libertarian candidate, once offered at 50:1 by Ladbroke House earlier this year, is not now offered. H. Ross Perot, perhaps reflecting the decision of the debate commission not to invite him, is also not offered at Ladbroke House. The wonderful thing about a free gambling marketplace, though, is that you can always go elsewhere if you want to take a gamble on Ross. The William Hill customer helpline @ +44 990 181715 said Clinton 1:8, Dole 9:2 and for Perot they can give you a whopping 250:1! Also, no odds given on Browne at William Hill, so in summary: Ladbroke House William Hill ------------------------------------------------------------ Clinton 1:7 (no change) 1:8 Dole 4:1 (no change) 9:2 Perot (was 50:1 now 0) 250:1 Browne * * ------------------------------------------------------------ *Not currently offered. Next posting when we get around to it, or when the situation seems to have changed substantially. Many thanks to our roving reporter for these numbers. anonymous oddsman.
