secure e-commerce applications on its servers.”
“Under the terms of an agreement between the companies, RSA
Security’s BSAFE Crypto-C software will be bundled with Cobalt’s
server appliances, adding Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
technology to developers using the servers to build or operate
e-commerce applications….”
“The RSA Security BSAFE Crypto-C software is a cryptography
engine that provides software developers with multiple algorithms
and modules for adding encryption and authentication features to
applications, including support for digital signatures and
certificates. A means to scramble data by utilizing
mathematical algorithms, cryptography is requisite for the
integrity of e-commerce transactions.”
