Credits and Acknowledgements

We owe an immense debt of gratitude to:

• All the people at Mort Bay Consulting for their development and free distribution of the 'Jetty' Java HTTP Servlet Server.
• Michael Kay for the SAXON XSLT Processor.
• Bruce Schneier for his development of the 'Blowfish' encryption algorithm and for putting it in the public domain.
• The Legion of the Bouncy Castle for their development and free distribution of their comprehensive cryptographic service provider library.
• The Apache Foundation for their development and free distribution of the BZIP2 decoder and Jakarta Commons.

These technologies are all used within Checkpoint, and without them the evolution and integration of the present Checkpoint Platform Architecture would have been impossible.

Further thanks are due to JavaZoom, JCraft, Tritonus and the jFLAC team for their Free libraries, which allow the Checkpoint Commander audio player to play Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and FLAC files.

Thanks are also due to Moxiecode Systems AB for their development and free distribution of the TinyMCE WYSIWYG HTML editor, and to Rodrigo Reyes for the JSmooth Java wrapper kit for Windows.

We would also like to acknowledge Paul Lutus for the development and free distribution of Arachnophilia, the Java text editor which has become one of the key components of the Checkpoint Information Engineering Workbench.

Finally, we would like to thank Mark Wooding, Gregory G Rose and other sci.crypt regulars for their advice (particularly concerning Message Authentication Codes), without which the Checkpoint Platform Architecture would be a lot less secure than it is.
