IIS 5.0, SSL, and Fortezza

Fortezza® is a registered trademark of the National Security Agency (NSA). It describes a family of computer security products, most notably PCMCIA-based cryptography cards, designed to meet the needs of U.S. federal agencies.

Fortezza is a piece of a broader Microsoft® Federal Security Initiative. Through this initiative, Microsoft is demonstrating its commitment to meeting the ongoing security needs of its federal customers. The official Web site for technical Fortezza information is http://www.armadillo.huntsville.al.us.

Like many other forms of encryption technology in the Windows operating system, Fortezza is implemented as a Cryptography API Security Provider (CSP). However, this CSP does not ship with Windows 2000 Server or IIS 5.0, but it is available from http://www.spyrus.coma.
