Until now there has been no definitive protocol or technology that could allow anyone, to have a group conversation, without fear of their privacy being threatened. That was until now. Introducing (n+1)sec protocol. (n+1)sec, is a free (libre), end-to-end secure, synchronous protocol for group chat developed by eQualit. This protocol can be used with any number of secure chat programs as it just provides the API-libraries which can be subsequently buried in the code. The protocol handles the six security requirements: Confidentiality: the conversation is not readable to an outsider Forward secrecy: conversation history remains unreadable to an outsider even if participants? encryption keys are compromised Deniable authentication: Nobody can prove your participation in a chat Authorship: A message recipient can be assured of the sender?s authenticity even if other participants in the room try to impersonate the sender Room consistency: Group chat participants are confident that they are in the same room Transcript consistency: Group chat participants are confident that they are seeing the same sequence of messages Though the protocol can not be fully tested as there is no fully operational application available but there is a Pidgin browse plugin (RC chat app) for playing with. Also all the code is available on GitHub for review and download. https://equalit.ie/introducing-n1sec-a-protocol-for-distributed-multiparty-chat-encryption/ http://bit.ly/2vUjv17 Jim From mcp2004 at mail.ru Mon Sep 4 06:50:55 2017 From: mcp2004 at mail.ru (=?UTF-8?B?U2FsYWtoZXRkaW5vdiBTaGFtaWw=?=) Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2017 14:50:55 +0300 Subject: [dba-Tech] =?utf-8?q?ASP=2ENET_Core_Docker_Production_Sample_runn?= =?utf-8?q?ing_on_Win10_Prof?= Message-ID: <1504525855.679116380@f247.i.mail.ru> Hi All -- I have got "ASP.NET Core Docker Production Sample" (https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker-samples/tree/master/aspnetapp) up & runing on my Win10 Prof. It was surprisingly smooth for non-MS technologies.

It may be a new app but within the open source world rest assured most of the code was borrow, reassemble, improved and recompiled. (As it is said, in the good book, "Never in the history of human conflict has so few stole so much from so many...") Even then, before I would run out and replace my client's mail clients, I would wait for a while and watch for comments from tech sites that get their click-bait revenue from thoroughly testing such new programs.
