Hi John,

Just a quick update on the status of our BlackRidge testing in our lab.

Your equipment is up and running, and so far it has done what we expected. We are pulling together a more complete set of our our business apps as a simulated mix so we can get more realistic/thorough tests done in our operational environment.

BTW at the international DIMES symposium I chaired last week — over 30 exchanges were represented — I explained your technology to a dozen of my peers as one to look at as we consider improved methods to defend the trading infrastructure. Not sure where that will go, but I personally remain very high on the applicability of BlackRidge technology to these kind of semi-closed networks where the list of valid participants (in this cases, exchanges and brokerage houses) are well known.
