Create TCP, UDP, and network testing applications quickly and efficiently, and get the benefit of securing your data with SSL-based encryption and certificate authentication. The powerful SslStream technology can be plugged into any stream source. Encryption and authentication can be used with any network, file, or buffer-based stream technology.

Encryption, authentication and easy-to-use TCP, Server, UDP, DNS, Ping, and Trace components, all in a single package.

• SSLStream class is abstracted for maximum flexibility
• Automatically authenticates and encrypts/decrypts data sent and received over the Internet or your intranet using SSL2, SSL3, PCT or TLS
• Supports client-side AND server-side authentication
• CertificateStore class provides extensive certificate management support
• Certificate class enables certificate verification and query
• Properties and events for certificate authentication give you complete control over what you will accept or reject
• SymmetricCryptoStream class enables easy private-key encryption and decryption with any Microsoft supported algorithm such as AES
• TCP component enables on-the-fly data parsing and Event notification
• Server component accepts every connection on a separate thread, resulting in high performance (tested at over 75 connections per second)
• UDP component enables asynchronous usage with Event notification
• DNS component allows user-defined DNS servers for easy-to-use address look-ups, reverse address look-ups, and mail address look-ups (from MX records)
• Ping component allows for ICMP, UDP, and TCP host verification
• Trace supports asynchronous echoes for unprecedented trace route performance
• All components designed with multi-threaded asynchronous functionality
• All components allow user-interface events to process during synchronous use
• All components are thread-safe on critical members
• Debugging has been extended beyond run-time testing to a design-time Editor in every component that lets you test your connection without compiling. Properties set in the Editor are recorded directly in your code, and a real-time feedback window gives you detailed information about the results providing unprecedented debugging capability
