All- I remember there was some talk about Netscape adding Fortessa support on here a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd share this. Marc Andreessen (president of technology for Netscape Communications) made a presentation today at the 18th National Information Systems Security Conference about Fortessa support within Netscape 2.0 to be shipping Beta Q2 '96 and final the second half of '96 (I haven't seen an official press release, but he more or less said they were announcing it today). From his description, it looks like they are going to place the Fortessa drivers right in the SSL layer bypassing the software subsystem that currently exists in favor of the hardware (the software subsystem would still be utilized for non-Fortessa sessions). He also commented that this was possibly a lead-in to other hardware subsystems in the future. General reaction (at least in my immediate vicinity in the lecture hall) was quite positive -- looks like Fortessa is gaining even more momentum (Oracle had a talk about Fortessa support immediately after Netscape). I wonder when Microsoft & company will jump on the bandwagon? :-) -Michael (The above statements are my opinions and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Department of Defense, the US Navy, or the Naval Research Laboratory.)
