WEBLOK permits only those WWW browsers that have a proper WEBLOK
(a parallel-port "dongle") installed to access portions of
your web site.
Web pages protected this way are encrypted when your server sends
them to a browser, and only a browser with the proper WEBLOK attached
can decrypt the pages and display them.
Typical customers of WEBLOK are publishers of on-line newsletters,
providers of high-value data, and sites offering remote course instruction,
etc. Each of these business models requires more than just having
a browser user enter a name and password, since there is no way to
control to whom the user can give this information.

Stay tuned here for an updated web site that illustrates the use of
WEBLOK, including a simulated weblok decoder that can run on any browser
that understands JAVA.
