Netscape and FV have both taken a "security is a product" stance, which is a gross misrepresentation.
We are definitely moving away from the "security is a product" stance that you mention. It was definitely overdone in the early days of the product, but after the security bugs of the summer I and others were able to convince marketing that they should back off. I want it to be clear what our product can and can not do. For example, SSL can only protect data in transit between two machines. If either machine is compromised then the data can be stolen at that end. Our product does not attempt to secure the user's machine, and can not operate securely on an insecure machine. Expect to see warnings and disclaimers of this nature from us in the future. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
