The SET mailing list (to join, see quote below) is presently discussing fundamentals. Currently Web browser or Credit Card companies are primarily involved. This may be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate and promote Ada 95 in context as a foundation before the assured proliferation of SET. The immediate goal is to create sufficient interest to get SET specified and implemented early with Ada. SET is the next big wave of technology nearly everyone will be using. Access to fundamental software components creates a more positive climate for smaller developers. Creating SET components is a good idea because their adoption and spread is very likely as the Internet expands to handle commerce. The Credit Card companies expect to see SET operational by the end of this year. So work must be done soon. Regardless of the outcome of the SET specification process, we should get organized and strive to be first to implement the SET specification. begin" The set-discuss mailing list is a forum for comments and discussion about the Secure Electronic Transactions (SET) specification, proposed jointly by MasterCard and Visa to support credit card payments over the Internet. The specification is available for review at the MasterCard and Visa home pages: http://www.mastercard.com http://www.visa.com The CommerceNet consortium operates this mailing list as a service to the Internet community.
