Yes. The two different implementations are described at www.microsoft.com
(search for SGC).

I thought that MS SGC implementation should be simpler than Netscape. All
the renegotiations should be handled by SSL_accept. But, I don't have a MS
SGC. So, I cannot test it. Neither can I confirm it. Has anyone use MS SGC
with openssl-0.9.4?

Cheers.

As far as Netscape's browser implementation of SGC (Step up encryption),
things seem to work. I am currently testing Microsoft Internet Explorer 
where I haven't been able to get it working.

Microsoft uses something they call themselves "Fast SGC". Basically
it doesn't wait for the complete SSL negociation for a renegociation,
after the client hello and the server hello (incl. sending the SGC cert)
it immediately resets and resends a client hello.

Can somebody confirm this? Maybe I am wrong here... ;-)

Kind regards,
Christian.
