When I was about to order the registered version of
SPRY's browser from within the browser itself, it
displayed the message "This is a secure transaction
that uses SPRY's encryption technology blah blah ..."
or something like that. In other words, they were trying
to tell me it was safe to enter my credit card number
into the provided FORM.
Does anybody know how this works?
Maybe the program has SPRY's public key compiled in.
