Daleen announces secure high volume Java Applet Communications.BOCA RATON Boca Raton (bō`kə rətōn`), city (1990 pop. 61,492), Palm Beach co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic; inc. 1925. Boca Raton is a popular resort and retirement community that experienced significant industrial development in the 1970s and 80s. , Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1996--Daleen Technologies Inc., a communications software (communications, software) communications software - Application programs, operating system components, and probably firmware, forming part of a communication system. These different software components might be classified according to the functions within the Open Systems development company located in Boca Raton, announced that it has developed a secure TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. communication library that works in conjunction with Java Applets A Java program that is downloaded from the server and run from the browser. The Java Virtual Machine built into the browser is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java application. . Until this time, secure communications over TCP/IP were achieved by using HTTPS (1) (HyperText Transport Protocol Secure) The protocol for accessing a secure Web server. Using HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP directs the message to a secure port number rather than the default Web port number of 80. , however only one transaction was handled and completed at a time. This meant simultaneous hits to the Web server if multiple transactions were being completed. As processing loads increased, expensive server upgrades were the only available option to compensate for slower processing time cycles.

When the Applet is executed, an encrypted TCP/IP channel is opened between the client and the server. This secure connection remains open for any required time without protocol or transaction limitations. Secure Applet communication has a direct impact on the deployment of electronic commerce applications over the Internet, especially in industries like banking, transportation, and insurance, where the norm would support several thousand simultaneously completed transactions. "This development will revolutionize electronic commerce," said Daleen.
