SSLBlackbox (ActiveX/DLL) 6.1

SSLBlackbox (ActiveX/DLL) 6.1 is definitely the solution for you when you have to deal with SSL in any programming languages. It is actually a collection of ActiveX controls for SSL support in your C++, Visual Basic, VBScript and VBA 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.

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

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 data 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
