Novell's InstantMe Instant Messaging service just pressreleased about adopting encryption and digital certificates. Story on ZDNET: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2610017,00.html <a href="/companyfinder/filters/detail/0,9991,00046,00.html">Novell</a> (Nasdaq: <A HREF=http://www.zdii.com/industry_list_new.asp?mode=news&ticker=NOVL>NOVL</A >) is billing Instantme 2.0 -- developed in conjunction with <a href="/companyfinder/filters/detail/0,9991,00262,00.html">America Online Inc.</a> (NYSE: <A HREF=http://www.zdii.com/industry_list_new.asp?mode=news&ticker=AOL>AOL</A>) -- as one of the industry's first secure IM products. The new version not only provides encryption but also supports the use of digital certificates, company officials said.<p> That's an important add-on for the enterprise market, which has been slow to adopt IM, partly due to concerns about messages being intercepted.<p> "Novell Instantme crosses all network and company boundaries," said John Gailey, vice president of product management in Novell's net content division. "Further, because it uses Novell digitalme technology -- a Net identity service -- users' contact lists are ... accessible regardless of the user's location."<p> Novell, of Provo, Utah, has also added <a href="/companyfinder/filters/detail/0,9991,1727,00.html"> CUseeMe Networks Inc.'s</a> audio and video chat capabilities, which it hopes will make Instantme 2.0 a serious collaboration tool for the corporate user.<p> <span class="msubhead3"><B>Net Publisher branches out</B></span><BR> As part of Novell's overhaul of Net Publisher, its Web-publishing offering, version 2.0 now supports <a href="/companyfinder/filters/detail/0,9991,44,00.html"> Microsoft Corp.'s</a> (Nasdaq: <A HREF=http://www.zdii.com/industry_list_new.asp?mode=news&ticker=MSFT>MSFT</A >) Windows 2000 as well as Windows NT and Novell's own NetWare.<p> The revamp also includes a fully documented API, which will allow users to develop their own customized features for Net Publisher.<p> Another feature enables authors to give their colleagues access to a document simply by adding their names to a user list.<p> Thanks!
