The SocketTools Secure Enterprise Edition is a collection of components that supports secure data connections over the Internet or a local network. Included are File Transfer Protocol (FTPS), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTPS), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Post Office Protocol (POP3S), Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTPS), Telnet (TelnetS), Gopher, Image Viewer, MIME, Ping, RCMD, DNS, RAS, SocketWrench/Winsock, Terminal Emulator, Finger, Audio Player, Time, and Whois. Almost all details of the SSL protocol are hidden within the controls and libraries, enabling developers to produce secure client applications with only small additional considerations beyond those needed for non-secure versions of those same applications.
