Irish Developer's CodesFor RSA Java Tool Kit
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.-RSA Data Security Inc. said it has licensed J/Crypto, a Java-based data encryption library, to be incorporated in RSA's JSAFE tool kit for development of Internet commerce applications.
J/Crypto comes from Baltimore Technologies Ltd. of Dublin, Ireland. It can be used in implementing RSA, DES, Diffie-Hellman, and other cryptographic algorithms.
Baltimore offers a "world-class product," said RSA president Jim Bidzos, and it will enhance the JSAFE package that the company announced in April and intends to have available in the third quarter to build security into systems using the Java programming language.
Mr. Bidzos said he expects to pursue other alliances in Europe, "a thriving center for innovation and achievement in cryptography." Purchase Using SETIs a First for Spain
MADRID-Bank card processor Sistema 4B conducted Spain's first Internet credit card transaction June 25 under the Secure Electronic Transctions protocol.
A card issued by Banco Santander was used to purchase compact discs from Discos Castello, a music retailer that uses Banco Sabadell as its merchant bank.
The banks are part of a pilot that Sistema 4B expects to grow to 30 merchants. Software from Verifone Inc., which was officially acquired by Hewlett-Packard Co. June 25, is to be given to 2,000 participating consumers.
