Mountain View, Ca., July 18 -- With the support of Intuit
and MasterCard International, Netscape Communications has
announced Secure Courier, an open, cross-platform digital
envelope. The new protocol allows secure transfer of credit
card, debit card and micro-transactions across the
Internet.
Secure Courier is an open, cross-platform protocol, meaning
it will operate in Macintosh, Windows, and Unix operating
environments common to Internet traffic. Specifications for
this new protocol are currently available from Netscape's
World Wide Web site at
