RE: security risks

Hi Zarina

It would help if you could elaborate a bit on this. Are you talking
about over-the-wire kind of access ? What does "external software" mean?

Subject: security risks

Hi all,
I just joined this list and have a question. Hope this is the correct
list for this type of question.

Hope any one can give some ideas on this.
What are the security risks for allowing a client software security
function such as signing to be called by external software?

thanx in advance
