I don't think that there is any serious worry for Netscape. Their security is fine-- it's just crippled by the US Government. They could probably start distributing binary versions of their software that used full 128 bit keys in several hours. It's just that the Government gets pissed off about these things.
I have to agree, Netscape may spend some energy to upgrade their encryption, but it really won't buy them all that much. SSL, to me, is like using a "security envelope" to mail cash or putting the club on your car. It presents just enough of an obstacle to keep honest people honest. jweis@primenet.com http://www.qtime.com/~jweis
