The BSAFE SSL-C software product was developed overseas by RSA Data
Security Australia Pty, Ltd., RSA’s new Brisbane, Australia development
center. It
not only gives developers outside the U.S. access to the industry’s most
trusted
encryption and security technology, but also makes it possible for U.S.-based
enterprises and ISVs to offer products with strong encryption for global
markets.
BSAFE SSL-C is based on SSLeay, an implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer
encryption protocol developed by Australian cryptographers Eric Young and Tim
Hudson. BSAFE SSL-C is backed by RSA’s product development and support
organization in Australia. Both Young and Hudson have joined RSA’s newly
formed
Australian subsidiary, RSA Data Security Australia Pty, Ltd.
"RSA Australia now offers developers worldwide the opportunity to work with a
commercial version of the SSLeay product, backed by RSA Australia technical
support, documentation, testing, and continued product enhancement," said Eric
Young, chief technical officer. "We’re excited to be a part of this
endeavor and
look forward to future product offerings."
