a good archive of encryption software and information
Summary
Despite the complexities of the underlying encryption mechanisms, readers will be pleased to know that implementing cryptographic systems has become easy. Product suites from major vendors such as Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com) and Netscape (http://www. netscape.com) include all the tools you need to set up internal security servers, certificate servers, and merchant servers (for electronic commerce on the Internet).
In addition, cryptographic systems are more secure due to the use of longer keys. Public acceptance of asymmetric public key schemes such as RSA means that secure electronic commerce will become pervasive. More and more users are obtaining certificates that let them participate in business on the Internet. Now that many of the details for implementing secure systems are taken care of in off-the-shelf software, system administrators only need to make sure they implement those systems properly.
