SSLBlackbox (.NET) 6.1

SSLBlackbox (.NET) 6.1 is definitely the tool you can not leave behind. It is actually a collection of managed components for SSL support in your C#, VB.NET. C++.NET, ASP.NET applications.

SSL/TLS protocol provides transparent security layer for high-level protocols, which work on top of TCP. SSL offers flexible authentication and encryption schemes for internet communications.

Typical uses of SSL/TLS include secure HTTP connections (HTTPS), secure mail and secure news. However any internet communication can benefit from using SSL and TLS. Use of SSL/TLS during internet communication lets your application hide details of the protocol from network sniffers, packet filters and other spy software. Moreover, with SSL you can be sure, that the server that your application connects to is the real server, whose authenticity is guaranteed by certificate. With SSL/TLS your data will be securely hidden from other people's eyes.

You should choose this tool because:

• If you build a client-server or distributed system, with ESecureClient and ElSecureServer components you can secure your communications in minutes;
• Unlike CryptoAPI-based implementations of SSL/TLS, SSLBlackbox offers support for the latest versions and features of SSL / TLS protocols such as AES and Camellia Cipher Suites, TLS compresion, TLS extensions and more;
• With SSLBlackbox you have complete control over the connection, including the ways to resume the session, select / validate client and server certificates etc.;
• SSLBlackbox includes components for client-side HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/FTPS and SMTP access to remote servers, so when you need to secure an application layer protocol, you can use SSLBlackbox;
• Free individual or public support is available from the very beginning of your evaluation and development

SSLBlackbox components are a clean-room implementation of all SSL / TLS protocol specifications, which dont use any third-party libraries for core functionality.
SSLBlackbox is compatible with all major SSL / TLS servers and clients on the market. This is .NET edition, which can be integrated into Visual Studio 2008, 2005, 2003, Borland Delphi 2005-2007 /.NET. It requires .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5, Mono (1.0 or 2.0) or .NET CF (1.0, 2.0, 3.5).

Major Features:

1. SSL/TLS Protocol implementation contains the following features, common to both client-side and server-side components:
   • complete support for SSL 2, SSL 3 and TLS 1.x versions of the protocol ;
   • client and server DTLS (Datagram TLS) protocol support which lets you secure your UDP communications ;
   • flexible support for client-side certificate authentication ;
   • user-driven validation of certificates ;
   • built-in compression ;
   • resuming of SSL sessions ;
   • support for Cryptocards and USB Crypto Tokens ;
   • authentication using pre-shared key (passphrase);
   • authentication using OpenPGP keys  (requires OpenPGPBlackbox);
   • standard and custom TLS extensions ;
   • data transfer using events/callbacks, i.e. possibility to secure not only socket based, but also other types of data exchange ;
   • support for key length from 512 to 16384 bits ;
   • support for RSA, DSA and DH public key algorithms ;
   • data encryption with Camellia, AES (128 to 256 bit), Triple DES (3DES), DES, ARCFOUR, RC2 algorithms ;
   • integrity checking using HMAC, SHA1 and MD5 algorithms ;
   • asynchronous operation mode which lets you easily build synchronous and asynchronous applications 
2. PKI Infrastructure - besides SSL/TLS features, SSLBlackbox includes base functions of PKIBlackbox.
3. SSLBlackbox includes a client-side HTTP / HTTPS protocol implementation, which offers the following HTTP features:
   • client-side support for HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 including keep-alive requests and
   • chunked encoding (the features required by HTTP 1.1);
   • client-side support for HTTP over SSL (HTTPS);
   • flexible support for client-side authentication in HTTPS ;
   • handling of GZip and Deflate compression ;
   • easy to use cookie management ;
   • support for files over 4 Gb ;
   • support for HTTP, SOCKS and HTTP CONNECT (web tunneling) proxies ;
   • support for "Windows Integrated" or NTLM authentication on both destination
   • servers and proxy servers ;
   • easy to use data post capabilities with methods to post web forms and binary dat streams;
   • flexible redirection handling;
   • bandwidth control ;
   • IPv6 support 
4. SSLBlackbox includes a client-side FTP / FTPS protocol implementation, which offers the following FTPS features:
   • client-side support for FTP and FTP-over-SSL (FTPS) protocols;
   • support for explicit and implicit TLS ;
   • compression (MODE Z) support ;
   • MLST command processing for easy parsing of directory listings ;
   • support for files over 4 Gb ;
   • custom commands ;
   • transfer resumption and partial transfers ;
   • file and directory commands (create and delete directories, rename files etc.);
   • support for FTP proxies ;
   • active and passive mode with optional adjustment of the server address in passive mode ;
   • flexible support for client-side authentication in FTPS ;
   • bandwidth control ;
   • IPv6 support 
5. SSLBlackbox includes a client-side SMTP protocol implementation, which offers the following SMTP features:
   • client-side support for SMTP protocol;
   • support for explicit and implicit TLS ;
   • support for binary transfer mode ;
   • the component can send both messages created by MIMEBlackbox and any other
   • generated messages;
   • flexible support for client-side authentication in SMTP over TLS ;
   • bandwidth control ;
   • IPv6 support 

Enhancements:
