This is a copy of the C2Net Press Release from 22 Jun 1998
Oakland, CA (June 22, 1998)--C2Net Software, Inc. today announced
it has entered into an agreement with the Hewlett-Packard Company to
integrate C2Net's Stronghold secure web server with the HP VirtualVault,
a secure Web run-time environment designed to safely connect enterprise
applications and databases to clients on the Internet.
"C2Net is dedicated to providing the highest levels of security for our
customers, and we are pleased to be working with HP to make our products
available on the VirtualVault, one of the most secure platforms in the
world," said C2Net President Sameer Parekh.
C2Net's Stronghold web server is a secure implementation of Apache, the
most popular web server on the Internet. Stronghold combines the power
and flexibility of Apache with a proven, robust, 128-bit implementation
of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol used to protect sensitive
communications over the Web. "Stronghold is fully compatible with
Apache, which runs over half the domains on the Internet, making it by
far the most popular web server in the world. The combination of Apache
compatibility and C2Net's commercial support and no-compromised approach
to security makes Stronghold the preferred front end for anyone creating
secure, interactive Web-based solutions," said Parekh.
"VirtualVault goes well beyond a firewall product. It provides security for
front-end application programs including Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
scripts and a wide range of popular middleware tools, while firewalls only
provide network and protocal security," said Jim Leuthauser, Director of
HP's Internet & System Security Lab. "Using the VirtualVault together with
an intelligent firewall greatly reduces security risks from the Internet."
C2Net Software, Inc. (http://www.c2.net/) is the leading provider of
uncompromised network security software. Through its international
offshore development programs, all C2Net products are exempt from
U.S. government export restrictions, allowing the company to offer

company's Stronghold secure web server is currently the number one
full-strength secure web server worldwide, according to a secure web
server survey by Netcraft, Ltd (http://www.netcraft.com/).

computing, Internet and intranet solutions, services, communications
products and measurement solutions, all of which are recognized for
excellence in quality and support. HP has 125,300 employees and had
