PowerTCP SSL for ActiveX: Automatically authenticate and encrypt/decrypt all data sent and received over the TCP connection using SSL2, SSL3, PCT, and TLS.

• NEW CertificateList Control - Use it to select Certificates from the installed Certificate Stores
• SecureTcp Control - Use it to manage a TCP stream. Automatic authentication and encryption/decryption uses system services available under NT4 sp4 (minimum) and Windows 2000, so RSA licensing is not required
• Daemon Control - Use it to build a secure server by accepting TCP connections. Can accept an unlimited number of connections that can be assigned to dynamic SecureTcp controls
• SecureServer Control - Similar to the Server Control, each accepted TCP connection automatically authenticates and performs encryption/decryption on the data stream
• SecureFtp Control - Similar to the FTP Control, control and data connections are automatically encypted/decrypted. Protect confidential information you send across the Internet
• SecureFtpServer Control - Similar to the FtpServer Control, control and data connections are automatically encypted/decrypted. A perfect match for the SecureFtp Control for a complete end-to-end encryption solution
• SecurePop Control - Similar to the POP Control, your email can be downloaded from any Secure Pop Server (like Microsoft Exchange) with complete privacy.
• Service Control - Use this control to build an application that runs as an NT service

Benefits & Features

• Write HTTP/S applications that provide client-side authentication WITHOUT displaying an annoying dialog asking the user to select his security certificate
• NEW Certificate Object exposes the details of digital certificates sent and received
• NEW CertificateStore Object exposes collections of installed Certificate Objects, making it easy to manage digital certificates
• Included Certificate Manager application can be used for local certificate management
• Full support for client-side AND server-side authentication
• Properties and events for Certificate Authentication requests and responses give you complete control the entire authentication and encryption/decryption process
• Search Method supports variable length records and line processing, eliminating the need to search for termination characters and simplifying buffer management
• Fill Method supports fixed length binary records, simplifying buffer management and reducing the code needed to send and receive binary structures

Sample Projects

• Secure FTP Client – Demonstrates a simple secure FTP client that can be used with the Secure FTP Server sample. (VB6 only)
• Secure FTP Server – Uses the SecureFtpServer Control to demonstrate a simple secure FTP server. Use it with the Secure FTP client. (VB6 only)
• Secure Web Client – Demonstrates a simple Secure HTTP/S Client application written using non-blocking operation. (VB6 only)
• Secure Web Server – Demonstrates a simple multi-threaded Web Server application that serves up html pages stored in local files over a secure connection. (VB6 only)
• Secure TCP Blaster – A simple TCP Daemon and Secure Client application, written using blocking operation, that uses all three methods for receiving data: Receive, Search, and Fill. (VB6 only)
• Secure POP Client – Demonstrates a simple secure POP client that can be used with any POP server that supports secure communications. (VB6 only)
• Secure Echo Server - Demonstrates a simple secure Echo server
• Secure TCP Client - Uses the SecureTcp Control to make secure connections to any secure port
• Secure Web Alive - A secure version of the Web Alive sample which compares the download performance of any 2 web pages. Useful for comparing the relative performance of mirrored Web Servers
• Service Demo - Demonstrates a simple service

Potential Uses/Applications

• Secure file transfers using Dart's Secure FTP Client/Server combo
• Secure mail downloads using Dart's Secure POP Client
• Create any Client/Server application that implements secure transactions knowing that your data is safe from any security risk
• Combined with the Winsock or Server for ActiveX, you can create a proxy server that accepts either clear or secure TCP connections and generates secure or clear TCP connections, respectively
• Combined with Emulation for ActiveX, you can create a secure VT Terminal Emulator that connects to your internal proxy server (that you create) that uses a Telnet connection to connect to internal corporate hosts
• Secure document management
• Enable asynchronous secure SOAP messages currently unavailable with the MS SOAP SDK
• E-commerce, trading applications
