PowerTCP SSL Sockets for .NET by Dart Communications

PowerTCP SSL Sockets for .NET V1.1.1.0

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!

• 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 50 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.


• Includes a royalty-free license.
