Secure scripting components for Internet application development SocketTools Secure Scripting Edition consists of Component Object Model (COM) libraries designed for use in scripting languages such as VBScript and JavaScript. The components do not have the inherent overhead of ActiveX controls and implement a threading model for more efficient use with Active Server Pages (ASP) and similar environments. This 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!
