Oh well... no news is not always good news. I could also mean that PHP
is much more popular and under more surveillance while python is only
good known to professional crackers...

The problem is, that in this usecase we won't be able to use Zope if
there is no official, independent security certificate for it.

Which could lead to such a certificate for Zope, but more likely to a
commercial CMS for which a certificate exists.

We are talking about a pharmaceutical company that is bound to
international regulations regarding software systems in such companies.
Especially all Interface functions have to be tested with every possible
input.

 Hello!

 I read on the german zope user group homepage, that Zope 2.8.4 is not
 supported on python 2.4.x, because of the missing security audit.
 That is good to know, but... who did the security audit for python
 2.3.x? Where can I read about that? What was done?
 
 There was never an official protocol..the audit was executed at Zope
 Corporation (ask Jim Fulton for details). There were also some glitches
 with
 RestrictedPython that had to be fixed when switching to
 new Python version.
 
 (Where is the
 protocol?)
 
 That is a nice argument why one should prefer
 plone/zope/python over typo3/php, but only if we can prove that...

 
 I doubt that such an information matters much to _promote_ Zope  Co.
 The weekly bugs in PHP are self-explanatory :-)

Then forget about Zope 2 and look at Z3. Zope 3 is currently on the way to 
be certified for the Common Criteria (hope this is the official name). You 
should look through the zope3-dev mailinglist archive for details.

While I wonder who could prossibly proofe PHP or PHP based solutions
secure in the meaning of secureness in Zope. ;)

Well, acutally secureness in this case has not really something to do
with protection against attackers. It's more secureness in the sense of
consistency and data security.
The system has to be determined in every way and every step must be
reversible and traceable.
That is possible with PHP based solutions. But PHP is not necessarily
what I meant ;)

Sven

Well. But when will that be? And when will Plone be ported to Z3? And
when will Plone be certified? ;)

And after all: Is Z3 ready to use? :D
