SimpLite-AIM: AIM encryption |
 |
- Authentication and encryption
SimpLite-AIM authenticates your contacts using RSA keys up to 2048 bits.
Encryption is done using the following algorithms: AES (up to 128 bits) or Twofish.
Those proven modern algorithms guarantee a strong security of your online conversations.
- Support of the AIM network (AOL Instant Messenger)
SimpLite-AIM secures your AIM conversations. SimpLite-AIM detects when your conversations start and
automatically negociate encryption with the remote user, provided he is also using SimpLite-AIM.
- Easy installation and configuration
SimpLite-AIM ships as a Microsoft Installer package. It is easily installed by any Microsoft Windows user.
A configuration wizard then helps configuring SimpLite-AIM.
The SimpLite-AIM graphical insterface allows you to quickly customize SimpLite-AIM by attributing
sounds or messages to each cryptographic event. You are thus directly informed when starting a
conversation whether it is secured or not.
The graphical interface also features a key manager for managing your key pairs or foreign keys.
- Multiple keys per user/contact
SimpLite-AIM users can have up to two private keys and assign them to specific AIM accounts. If you use
two accounts, you can thus automatically encrypt your conversations with different keys.
SimpLite-AIM can also store multiple keys per single contact, for example if one of your contacts is using
a different key when he is at work or at home.
SimpLite-AIM requires one of the following operating systems:
- Windows 95/98/Me
- Windows NT4.0
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP
SimpLite-AIM also requires a client for connecting to the AIM service. We recommend the official AIM
client from AOL, however SimpLite-AIM is compatible with most clients including Trillian.
