"I'm pleased to see that Thawte is introducing much needed diversity
in the emerging Certificate Authority market," said Ben Laurie,
author of the secure components of Apache-SSL.
"We believe that the Apache Group has played a significant role
in the development of efficient, flexible and secure server
software for the Internet, and that Ben's Apache-SSL will be
the benchmark against which other commercial packages are
measured." said Mark Shuttleworth of Thawte.
Apache-SSL is the first in a series of secure server products
for which Thawte will issue digital certificates.
