I take a long term view of security. Basically I don't trust security software until it has been released in a stable condition for a few years. The comments about Credit Card numbers miss the point. The volumes of trade on the Internet today are so small that the number of card numbers floating arround is insignificant. There are much easier ways to find them than cracking the Internet. This will not be the case in a couple of years time where the trade volumes are far higher. Visa and Mastercard will be comming out with a spec which will have very tight requirements for implementations. Phill
