Researchers from the United States have claimed in a paper published last week to have extracted a private key from a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) based Web-server by using timing based attack techniques.
SSL certificates have served the e-commerce industry well over the past 15 years, says Verisign's Ed Eliff, but according to one security researcher, merchant-served rootkits might do a much better job.
WatchGuard Technologies and Citrix Systems have teamed up to release an SSL VPN gateway solution aimed at undercutting competitors and ousting IP-Sec technology from the Australian mid-market.
Telecommunications-equipment maker Nokia ventured into browser-based virtual private networks on Monday with new software and an appliance that lets companies offer secure Web browser access to their internal networks.
Sun Microsystems donates new cryptography technology to an open-source project at the heart of many secure transactions on the Internet.
The market is heating up for products that allow secure access to corporate networks based on a widely used browser security technology known as secure sockets layer encryption.

Telecommunications-equipment maker Nokia ventured into browser-based virtual private networks on Monday with new software and an appliance that lets companies offer secure Web browser access to their internal networks.
The open-source Web server continued its rise last year, powering 67 percent of all Web sites, while rivals remained flat.
We found this to be an impressive unit and, while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, if you need to facilitate up to 25 concurrent SSL VPN user sessions then the NETGEAR SSL312 is definitely worthy of short-listing for evaluation.
WAP service has failed to live expectations since released in Australia in late 1999. However, Peramon Technology's theMobilizer may make mobile WAP-based mobile Internet service more viable for ISPs and Intranets, and more accessible for users.
If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.
Fortinet has taken their proven UTM firmware and hardware experience and combined those with a 24-port network switch. While perhaps not suited to larger enterprises, the FortiGate-224B certainly represents an excellent proposition for SMB or branch office deployment and worthy of further research.
Computer security firm Cylink says it will close an accepted security loophole inherent in WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) technology -- as soon as September.
