Ben Smith writes supportively in the January 1995 issue on
Netscape's products -- freebie and commerical. See pp.197-200.
Two excerpts:
"Netsite Commerce Server is Netscape Communications' most
important product because it offers the basic requirements for
secure transactions over the otherwise
open-for-snooping-and-spoofing Internet." [Brief discussion of
crypto system -- RSA, PGP similarity and difference.]
"Netscape Communications may not be able to clean out the loose
threads and cobwebs of the Internet, but its client and servers
are the kinds of products the Internet needs to make the
transition from being a cobweb of experimental projects to a
serious commercial marketplace."
