Amherst, NH- Clearview Software International, Inc., innovators in providing tools for windows and web-enabling mission critical applications today announced general availability of its Application Driver Platform, known as Co*STAR. The release of Co*STAR Version 2.4, now includes support for Secure Shell (SSH1) connections. SSH provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. Clearview licenses this technology from RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS) and has also been granted an export license for distributing software containing strong encryption outside of the U.S. Users, Integrators and VARs all agree having RSA BSAFE® encryption software embedded in an application helps ensure information security and secure access control in a multi-platform, multi-location environment.

Clearview's Application Driver Platform tools and web-based components empower developers to take a highly flexible and extensible approach to Windows or web-enabling their most critical applications, without changing source code or logic or sacrificing the intelligence and security of mission critical applications. With the introduction of Clearview's Application Driver Platform tool, mission critical application's can be seamless and securely delivered on a PC or in a thin client, browser-based mode utilizing the latest Windows NT® Server 4.0, Windows 2000® Terminal Server and Windows XP® environments.

"Information security has become an issue of great concern," said Richard Lowney, President at Clearview. "Delivering applications quickly, inexpensively, and securely over the Internet as well as through internal corporate networks is a strategic mission of today's corporate leaders. Security is essential to this vision and the addition of SSH1 into our Application Driver Platform tool Co*STAR is a key milestone in meeting the needs of its customer base. Clearview chose to use RSA BSAFE security software, because it is widely accepted in the corporate and developer communities as the premier cryptographic standard."

Mr. Lowney additionally stated, "Even legislators, with their heightened concern for privacy, are implementing e-government initiatives and industry specific legislation such as HIPAA (i.e. Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996), to protect information collected on businesses and individuals. Existing legacy applications of business and government are the target of such legislation and we provide the middleware needed to allow access and security."

Availability

Co*STAR, Version 2.4 and Co*STAR for the Web are available now and can be installed on any Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 server. Client PC's may use any 32-bit Windows platform. As with all Clearview Software releases, Version 2.4 is fully backward compatible.
