The road to DigsbyToGo: Encryption fully implemented!
June 19th, 2008 by Dave
I’m pleased to announce the DTG is now fully encrypted. There is no need to worry about your sensitive conversations being read by ANYONE but you. The new DTG Client (Build 6b) includes these features:
- Triple DES Encryption on ALL meaningful personal data being sent. This means contact names, timestamps, messages, open windows– it’s all completely encrypted. I couldn’t see your information–nobody could.
- Windows Credentials Management - Windows is now in charge of your user name and password. There is still a settings.dtg file that stores the URL to DTG, but log-on credentials are stored and maintained by windows.
- Windows Vista UAC support. You’ll no longer have to right-click on the EXE and run it as an administrator to install skin hooks. The skin installer is now integrated with UAC and you will be prompted when opening it.
- I’ve tracked the WLM bug - there is a bug in Digsby’s skin parser that needs to be corrected before I MSN/WLM contacts (and possibly networks other than AIM) can be shown. Sorry - I can’t do anything about this.
The web interface may seem slower to load now - the javascript is redundant and not optimized. It is on my task list but the UI needs to be brought up to snuff before I can do that.
