Detailed Product Description
[Review] [Overview] [Features] [Components Included]These Are Uncertain Times…
Once you have mastered the basic mechanics of writing socket-based applications, developing robust, intelligent network-capable software is a simple enough matter. Not only are we able to write typical client/server applications, we can add support for messaging, LDAP, Email, Telnet, HTTP, FTP and a lot more. Life is good and we can go home and rest all safe and snuggly in the knowledge that our software is robust, scalable, and full of all the features that are sure to make our systems a success.Until we read the newspaper or switch on the evening news. Then we hear about the latest virus, security vulnerability, and cracker exploit. Stirred from our comfy chair in a seizure of anxiety, we wonder to ourselves: “Is MY application secure?” “Can my applications be compromised?” “Are my customers' data being handled safely and securely?” Well, you can rest easily, because the folks at /n software have you covered there, as well.
The Security Briefing
IP*Works! SSL and S/MIME are a collection of components that provide secure, network-based communications over encrypted sockets. The SSL package can provide Secured Socket Layer (SSL) and Digital Certificate capabilities to any application. The S/MIME package is a full-featured security toolkit that implements the S/MIME v2 standard for encryption using Public Key Cryptography standards. Together, these packages bring a wealth of secure networking capabilities to your applications. Let's take a closer look at the two.IP*Works! SSL
The IP*Works! SSL suite is a collection of 16 different components supporting almost all of the popular Internet protocols. With a full range of features, they allow you to quickly build applications that are both robust and secure.Web Access
Extending your application to the World Wide Web in a secure manner is also supported by IP*Works! SSL via a rich set of components. Accessing web sites over SSL is a snap with the HTTPS component. Now you can very easily embed secured web pages into your application with just a couple of commands. Interaction with online web forms via SSL is provided by the WebFormS component, which allows you to POST data to other websites. Files can also be easily submitted to web servers using the WebUploadS component.Networking
Support is also provided for several of the more common, more advanced networking protocols. Secure telnet is made capable by the TelnetS client components. The TelnetS component provides a simple interface to telnet communications, sending telnet commands to remote servers and firing relevant events for received commands. Secured LDAP communications is provided by the LDAPS component, allowing you search, manage and maintain directory servers that are SSL-enabled. Secure file transfers are made possible by the FTPS component. As many legacy and/or external systems exchange data with bulk transfers of data files transported over FTP, this is crucial for maintaining data security. IP*Works! SSL even provides support for securely reading, searching and posting articles on USENET, with the NNTPS component.Other components in the suite offer support for secure SOAP clients, as well as providing you with the ability to create your own SSL-enabled network services. This is facilitated through a collection of components that include a generic, asynchronous TCP server socket (IPDaemonS) and an asynchronous client socket (IPPortS). Management of digital certificates is handled by the CertMgr component.
