Explores the possibilities of a written warranty that vouches for an application's capabilities to protect confidential information from unauthorized access from, or disclosure to, cyberspace, a warranty of cyberworthiness. Software makers have much to gain if they consider offering a limited warranty that addresses their customers' most manageable, serious concerns.
