- Authentication and encryption
SimpLite-ICQ 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 ICQ network
SimpLite-ICQ secures your ICQ conversations. SimpLite-ICQ detects when your conversations start and
automatically negociate encryption with the remote user, provided he is also using SimpLite-ICQ.
- Easy installation and configuration
SimpLite-ICQ ships as a Microsoft Installer package. It is easily installed by any Microsoft Windows user.
A configuration wizard then helps configuring SimpLite-ICQ.
The SimpLite-ICQ graphical insterface allows you to quickly customize SimpLite-ICQ 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-ICQ users can have up to two private keys and assign them to specific ICQ accounts. If you use
two accounts, you can thus automatically encrypt your conversations with different keys.
SimpLite-ICQ can also store multiple public keys per single contact, for example if one of your contacts is using
a different key when he is at work or at home.
| Requirements |
SimpLite-ICQ requires one of the following operating systems:
- Windows 95/98/Me
- Windows NT4.0
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP
SimpLite-ICQ also requires a client for connecting to the ICQ service. We recommend the official ICQ
client, however SimpLite-ICQ is compatible with most clients including Trillian.
