MAKING NETSCAPE COMPATIBLE WITH FORTEZZA~(~R) LESSONS LEARNED

摘要

This paper describes lessons learned during the development of Netscape products supporting FORTEZZA~(~R), but many general principles are applicable to all commercial initiatives. All remarks in this paper express only the opinions of the author. With the transition of Department of Defense (DOD) software products from Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) to Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS), changes are needed in the way security software is developed and evaluated. The government is undertaking an effort to develop applications to leverage emerging technologies and to broaden collaborative partnerships with industry, academia, and other government agencies to maximize the return from technology efforts.
