Product Description

Using the Clever Internet Suite you can add instant SSL / TLS / SSH security to your Internet applications and implement many useful Internet-related features:

  • Download and upload files over the HTTP(S), FTP, and SFTP protocols;
  • Post JSON data to REST services;
  • REST SOAP client with WSS data protection;
  • Send and receive Emails with X509 signatures and encryption;
  • HTTP, FTP, SFTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and NNTP client / server components;
  • SFTP client with public-key authorization;
  • OAUTH 2.0 authorization, JWT support, and many more.

In this new Version 10.0 we have introduced the SFTP Server component and also the TCP Client / Server components, which can be used for implementing any custom data exchange.
The SSH engine was totally redesigned and improved to support more SSH channels and the SSH tunneling functionality, which will come in one of the nearest version of the product.
Also, we have fixed some existing problems in the HTTP client, the SOAP Security engine, the SSH channel implementation, and improved the AES-CTR cipher performance. See the complete change list below.

Starting from the version 8.0 the library was splitted on design-time and runtime packages. Starting from now, the components can be used by RAD Studio form designer in 64-bit projects.
The basic socket components were replaced and improved. The class inheritance was changed. Please see the Help documentation for more details.
The Help documentation is included in the Clever Internet Suite installation and also available at our website: Clever Internet Suite downloads
