[AG-TECH] encryption protocols

[Julia Mullen]

Hi -

I am not sure what protocol inSORS uses, but I do know that we can
encrypt mixed platform meetings - when an inSORS client attempts to
enter a venue where there are encrypted sites, you are asked for a
'key' (this is when you enter via the taskbar tools, not the webpage,
I haven't used the web based connection method) - for inSORS, when you
submit the key it encrypts both audio and video at the same time.

This is the only way that I have found for encrypting mixed inSORS/AG
meetings, and I did spend a good bit of time pursuing this.  We have a
monthly encrypted mixed platform meeting and I was asked recently
about the protocols - thus the initial email.

Thanks,

  Julie
