Digital recently released a new (?) way of using the public Internet to create -
-or replace--private local or wide area networks. All sensitive data is
encrypted with RSA tech, private key/public key cryptography on either end of
communication as well as authentication so the parties can accurately identify
each other. It's called the Digital Internet Tunnel.
Has anyone heard about this kind of system (surely not the first of its kind)
and is this safe??
