Support
OAKLAND, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- C2Net Software today announc ed
its Stronghold(TM) secure web server now supports the nFast hardware
cryptographic accelerator from nCipher Corporation Ltd. "Like Stronghold, the
nFast accelerator is manufactured outside of the U.S., enabling us to off er
our world-wide customers a simple, platform-independent way to speed up s
ecure
web server throughput," said C2Net Software president Sameer Parekh. "Man y
will find that Stronghold's terrific out-of-the-box performance is more t han
enough for their needs. If not, adding one or more nFast units is a fast,
simple way to increase encryption performance as required."
"nCipher's nFast cryptographic accelerators enhance e-commerce and on line

accelerator can carry out approximately three hundred 1024-bit public key
signings per second.
