Of course, one of the most serious security problems with Netscape servers is that they run on machines sitting out there on the Internet where anybody who can browse their services can attack them - that 128-bit bullet-proof iron-clad front door isn't much help if the garage door is unlocked because of some sendmail bug. For most web applications, the big security need is to send a chunk of encrypted data to some server that will decrypt it and get you credit-card number or whatever, but the standard SSL and S/HTTP protocols want to decrypt the data to plaintext on the Web server before it can do anything like that. (OK, I guess this doesn't win me a T-Shirt, since enough other people have said similar things, but do I at least get a gif of the shirt and a crayon so I can roll my own? :-) Good work, folks! #--- # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #---
