SocketTools Secure Editions
If you need to establish secure, encrypted connections then you'll want to
use the Secure Editions. The Secure Editions include components and/or libraries
which support the standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security
(TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH) protocols, including full support for strong
encryption and client certificates. Using the Secure Editions, you can establish
secure connections with web sites, file servers and e-mail servers by simply
setting a few options. Unlike some other toolkits, it's not necessary that you
understand how to use Microsoft's CryptoAPI or redistribute third-party libraries
which can require runtime licensing and have complicated export restrictions.
The SocketTools Secure Editions make it extremely easy to implement the security
features that your customers demand in today's business environment.

SocketTools Standard Editions
On the other hand, if you only need to establish standard connections,
then the Standard Editions include all of the components and/or libraries in
the Secure Edition, without the security features. Using SocketTools, you

messages, manage mailboxes on a mail server, execute commands on a remote
server and much, much more. Also included with SocketTools is our extremely
popular SocketWrench toolkit, which can be used to easily create a wide
variety of client and server applications. Using SocketTools, not only can
you easily access a wide variety of Internet services, you can implement
virtually any protocol or even create a custom protocol that's specific to
