[This is the second try at sending this message.] SSL 3.0 protocol has been substantially changed from earlier drafts to fix a number of performance and cyrptographic issues. The latest version can be found as PostScript in a compressed tar file on ftp://ftp<N>.netscape.com/pub/review/ssl-spec.tar.Z where <N> is a digit in the range [2-8]. An HTML version should be available in a day or two. I will post the URL when that happens. Netscape is also in the process of submitting this draft to IETF. Questions and comments about this specification should all be directed to ssl-talk@netscape.com. Answers and replies will be posted there. We are quite interested in your feedback. As new eyes see the spec for the first time, I suspect that we will be notified about typos and areas that are not as clear as they should be. As a result, there will probably be an update in 2 weeks or so. PK -- Philip L. Karlton karlton@netscape.com Principal Curmudgeon http://www.netscape.com/people/karlton Netscape Communications
