Reading through the java.sun.com Security Q&A archives I came across references to
a couple of third party vendors who sell Java SSL packages - RSA Data Security and
Phaos. Has anyone heard anything about either? Does anyone know if NetDynamics
ship their own SSL package or if they recommend any of these vendors?
Any further information would be much appreciated.
