ViPNet OFFICE Services

ViPNet OFFICE includes the following tools to help you manage the flow of information within your company. These tools enable the quick and safe exchange of data between VPN participants.

Chat/Conference (Encrypted Instant Messaging)

Encrypted Instant Messaging exchanges messages between VPN participants in real time (on-line). This service may be compared with tools like ICQ, MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger, however the advantage of Encrypted Instant Messaging is that it encrypts messages in real time.

Business Mail

Business Mail is an email client that implements advanced authentication and verification mechanisms. The sending, receiving and opening of emails is documented, and can be seen by the sender in the status window. The user interface of Business Mail is very similar to the interfaces used in other email clients.

File Exchange

File Exchange allows ViPNet users to exchange files in a secure, quick and convenient way without the need of writing additional text. The function is integrated into the Microsoft Windows shell, so it is possible to right-click on any file and select to send it to one or several ViPNet Clients.

External Programs

ViPNet supports different communication programs like MS NetMeeting, VoxPhone, Internet Phone, Compaq Insight Manager, Microsoft Portrait and Radmin Viewer, and in doing so, ensures all the traffic via those tools is encrypted. You can use any other communication program as long as you ensure that all participating parties have the program installed.

Web link

The Web Link service gives you access to the web-resources of a computer located in the private (with installed ViPNet software) or public network (without ViPNet software). For ViPNet users such access is carried out in protected mode.

Explore Network Place

The Explore Network Place service allow you to explore the accessible network resources on computers in the private (with installed ViPNet software) or public (without ViPNet software) networks. For ViPNet users in the private network, a connection is carried out in protected mode.

Check User Connection & Status

ViPNet Client [Monitor] and ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor] allow you to view the current connection and status of each ViPNet user in the private network.

Computer locking

The computer locking function allows a ViPNet user to forbid access to all their desktop applications and/or to block all incoming and outgoing IP traffic.

ViPNet CryptoExtension

ViPNet CryptoExtension provides cryptographic protection (digital signature and encrypting) for messages formed and sent from Microsoft Office Outlook and/or Outlook Express. ViPNet CryptoExtension can only be used on client machines.
