New Orleans, LA, April 10th, 2002, Microsoft TechEd 2002 - /n software inc. (www.nsoftware.com) - a leading provider of Internet Development Tools, announces IPWorks SSL for the Microsoft .NET Framework. IPWorks SSL for Microsoft .NET is a special SSL-enabled version of IPWorks, written entirely in Microsoft Visual C# .NET, specifically for the Microsoft .NET Framework. This is a no-compromise, comprehensive suite of royalty-free components for Microsoft .NET.

Initially introduced in 1995, IPWorks is actively used by most Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, as well as thousands of independent software developers worldwide. The product eliminates much of the complexity of developing connected applications, by providing easy-to-use programmable components that facilitate tasks such as sending email, transferring files, browsing the Web, consuming XML Web services, etc.

"IPWorks SSL further extends the possibilities for .NET developers, giving them tools for secure Internet communication and digital certificate management." said David Lazar, group product manager for the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. "The IPWorks SSL suite of components will be a valuable tool for developers using Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework to add Internet security features to their applications."

IPWorks SSL for Microsoft .NET brings unprecedented ease of use to Secure Internet Development with drop-in replacements for the components in the "classic" IPWorks .NET package, well known in the development community for their straightforward, intuitive interfaces, and powerful productivity features. IPWorks SSL makes it easy to communicate with secure clients or servers, greatly reducing development time and enhancing productivity.

The client components such as HTTPS, SMTPS, etc. provide full control over the process of setting up SSL connections, including certificate management, verification, and certificate-based client authentication. The secure server control, IPDaemonS, is a generic SSL server, providing full secure server capabilities, combined with unprecedented ease of use. In addition, the CertMgr control provides certificate management capabilities.
