Wanted: Beta-testers: Fortify: 128-bit crypto on BSD

Wanted: Beta-testers: Fortify: 128-bit crypto on BSD

Post by Farrell McK » Wed, 28 Jan 1998 04:00:00



Fortify for Netscape is now available on the BSD platforms in
beta-test form.  Fortify is a program that provides world-wide,
full strength 128-bit encryption to users of Netscape Navigator (v3)
and Communicator (v4).  If you haven't heard of Fortify for Netscape
before, take a look at http://www.fortify.net/.

If you are interested in beta-testing this software, please

BSD you use.  Ideally it should be tested on FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, and BSDI (did I miss any?).

Here is what you should be prepared to do:

  - NOT redistribute Fortify v1.1.4b1.
  - actively install and test the software.
  - send me a short message, say, 48 hours after download
    indicating whether
      1. the pre-compiled binaries work on your system.
      2. whether or not you found any problems during use.
    (positive reports are just as important as negative ones).
