Provide secure communications over the Internet or your intranet. SocketTools Secure Visual Edition is a collection of controls that supports secure data connections over TCP/IP. It includes client interfaces for SSL-compliant versions of virtually all application protocols including file transfer (FTPS), email (SMTPS/POP3S), web (HTTPS), Telnet, MIME, Ping, and more. Supports three standard security protocols: SSL V2.0/3.0, PCT V1.0, and TLS V1.0. The package includes all of the non-secure components plus the secure components.

The SocketTools Secure Visual Edition includes support for the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Security Layer (TLS) protocols which are used to ensure that data exchanged between the local system and a remote host is secure and encrypted. The Secure Editions implement the major secure protocols such as HTTP, FTPS, SMTPS, POP3S, IMAPS and more. Your data is protected by industrial strength 128-bit encryption, with full support for client certificates. Using the popular SocketWrench component that is part of SocketTools, you can also write your own, custom secure server applications. And there's no need for you to understand the details of certificate management, data encryption or how the security protocols work. All it takes is a few lines of code to enable the security features, and SocketTools handles the rest.

The following are just some of the features in the SocketTools Secure Visual Edition:
