I've been waiting for this, for oh, about two years now. Eric ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSA Licenses Commercial Distribution Rights to RSAREF ===================================================== RSA announces that it is licensing commercial distribution rights of its RSAREF software to Consensus Development, allowing for implementation of commercial Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) applications. Press Release -------------- REDWOOD SHORES, CALIFORNIA--JANUARY 9, 1995--RSA Data Security, Inc. and Consensus Development Corporation jointly announce today at the RSA Data Security Conference that Consensus Development is licensing the commercial distribution rights of RSAREF from RSA Data Security. RSAREF (pronounced "R.S.A. reff") is short for "RSA reference implementation" and is a cryptography source code toolkit designed to allow developers to create PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail)software and other encryption/authentication tools. Until now, RSAREF has been an unsupported RSA product approved for use only as part of freeware and not-for-profit software applications. Consensus Development will now be able to market and license RSAREF to commercial software developers, and provide software support and future enhancements to the RSAREF source code library.

Its just another example of RSADSI trying to act more like a government agency. :) Adam | I've been waiting for this, for oh, about two years now. | | Eric | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | RSA Licenses Commercial Distribution Rights to RSAREF | =====================================================
