I noticed that in your transfer protocol that no secure transfer =
protocol is included. I myself work as a web consultant and a frequently =
questions I get is on security. In cases where the information is =
confidential encryption is essential. Seems to me that appletts =
information needs to be encrypted to ensure complete security. =
Certainly where the protocol has not already been established. The new =
trend is to provide database access over the net. I need to know what =
measures are being taken to ensure anonymity. I need to be reassured =
before I can recommend a Java solution for customers.
