    Subject: Java Security Directions

Hello,

I'm Bob Pritchard, Director of Product Mgt. at Gradient Technologies.
Gradient is a software vendor focused on software security for large
enterprises. We have been in business since 1989 and have over 500
customers from the Global 2000 with deployed mission critical applications.

Gradient's NetCrusader product family integrates many standards based
security technology including authentication and privacy. NetCrusader
innovates thru an enterprise-wide authorization model combined with
integrated authentication and privacy options.

Over past 18 months Gradient has been evolving our security products to
incorporate more native Java technology. We are committed to making full
use of Java to gain greater portability and to take advantage of the
emerging groundswell of Java technology and enabled products.

Recently our CTO, Principal Java Engineer and myself attended JavaOne to
keep abreast of all the Java directions. Likewise we closely monitor the
Sun web site.

We are at a point where we need to make the next major technology
investment in our NetCrusader product family. I want to ensure that our
product directions are compatible and that we not engineer security
offerings that are directly competitive with your own product plans.

For that reason I would like to have a brief meeting with a Product or
Technology Manager aligned with Java's security direction. Our CTO, VP of
Sales & Mktg. and I will be in the San Francisco area next on June 3rd and
4th and would welcome a meeting to describe our product futures and to
ensure its fit with Sun's direction.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Bob Pritchard
