RE: Sources for Extranet Designs?

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

Most that I have read on B2B architectures for extranets covered security,
if they covered security at all, did so in such a minimalist way as to be
of no real consequence.  Functionality is the main concern of most the
wiriteups I've seen, or manuals on such.  Perhaps the best forums for what
you appear to be seeking are right here at your e-mailing fingertips just
awaiting clarification of the information you seek.  I think that was the
context of Paul's reply.

B2B/extranet/VPN solutions, all over blown and over used terms and
technologies that far too often really do not mitigate any og the risks
they are implimented for.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
