Hi folks,
I'm trying to dredge up a piece of ancient history, namely the piece of software that the banks used in the days before 128-bit SSL was freely available in South Africa. It operated as an SSL proxy running on your local PC, such that the browser connected to the SSL proxy using 40-bit encryption, and the proxy connected to the bank's website using 128-bit SSL (via OpenSSL libraries).
This would have been around the 1998 timeframe, or thereabouts, I think.
If anyone remembers the software in question (mine was provided by FNB, but I think all the banks were using the same solution), please let me know. I'm ultimately trying to find a copy of it somewhere, but even the name of it might help with the googles.
Thanks!
