ANNOUNCING:  Digital Certificates for users of Apache-SSL

Thawte Consulting is pleased to announce that it will begin to
issue digital certificates for use with Ben Laurie's "Apache-SSL"
secure server software today.

The fee for the service is US$ 100, which can be paid in any one
of over 50 currencies.  Clients can send their documentation to
our certification bases in the USA, Canada, the UK and South
Africa.

"I'm pleased to see that Thawte is introducing much needed diversity 
in the emerging Certificate Authority market," said Ben Laurie,
author of the secure components of Apache-SSL.

"We believe that the Apache Group has played a significant role 
in the development of efficient, flexible and secure server
software for the Internet,  and that Ben's Apache-SSL will be
the benchmark against which other commercial packages are
measured." said Mark Shuttleworth of Thawte.

Apache-SSL is the first in a series of secure server products
for which Thawte will issue digital certificates.
