Beyond Software Announces EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM, a High Performance Enterprise Web Server with SSL Encryption.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 1997--Beyond Software Inc. (www.beyond-software.com), a leading provider of solutions for transforming legacy applications, today announced EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM, the first high performance secure enterprise web server for the VM operating environment In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. . EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM provides corporations, educational institutions and government agencies with the ability to web-enable their legacy applications using the most advanced security technology available. Using commercial web browsers The following is a list of web browsers. Historical Historically important browsers In order of release:
"Our customers require the ability to make confidential information on their mainframe available via their Intranet/Extranet/Intranet. Our Beta program is in full swing and initial feedback is very encouraging," stated Brian Reaves, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Beyond Software. EnterpriseWeb Secure offers Secure Sockets Layer (networking, security) Secure Sockets Layer - (SSL) A protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation to provide secure communications over the Internet using asymmetric key encryption. (SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. ) encryption, using the SecureWeb Toolkit(TM) from Terisa Systems Inc., thereby giving customers a modular set of programs that can easily be expanded to take advantage of any new advances in encryption technology. Transactions between the server and the browser have up to 168-bit encryption -- considered virtually unbreakable by security experts. Terisa Systems has certified the cryptographic methods employed in EnterpriseWeb Secure. Encryption technology is also licensed from RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA. (2) (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) A highly secure cryptography method by RSA Security, Inc., Bedford, MA (www.rsa.com), a division of EMC Corporation since 2006. It uses a two-part key. . "We have been working with Beyond Software to achieve the first part of the Terisa SecureWeb Toolkit to a mainframe web server. EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM offers the highest level of security available in a web server today," according to Allan Schiffman, chief technical officer of Terisa Systems. Digital authentication, using a trusted third party In cryptography, a trusted third party (TTP) is an entity which facilitates interactions between two parties who both trust the third party; they use this trust to secure their own interactions. TTPs are common in cryptographic protocols, for example, a certificate authority (CA). , or Certificate Authority, is a critical component of any secure web server (1) A server on the Web that supports one or more of the major security protocols such as SSL, SHTTP and PCT. This means that order form data from your browser is encrypted before being sent (uploaded) to the Web site, making it extremely difficult for a third party to decipher . By utilizing digital certificates and public/private keys, both the server and the browser can confirm that they are communicating with the intended party by using EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM. Corporations are now able to safely extend web access to their legacy applications. "A digital certificate from VeriSign means that EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM users can be confident they are doing business with the desired organization and that the information exchanged is truly confidential and uncompromised," said Richard Yanowitch, VP of marketing at VeriSign. "We're pleased to be working with Beyond Software to bring VeriSign IDs and digital signature solutions to the enterprise." "With EnterpriseWeb Secure/VM, customers get unparalleled transaction security by combining the existing mainframe security with SSL encryption," noted Reaves.
