RE: Experiences with a product called "eroom"

["Paul Heber" <pheber () qantas com au>]

Laura,

Thanks for the information. The one thing that DigiVault does seemingly well is
security of files and the ability to use encryption. There is one flaw, when
trying to use this as a collaboration tool. It doesn't allow it. The e-Room
product allows users to interact with the file and vote on changes to the file.

e-Room is a real collaboration tool whereas the DigiVault product is that an
encrypted data storage device on the Net.

Thanks
Paul

DigiVault by Lexias is a competing product to e-room. It has built-in crypto
so your documents are safe, even if the ASP your vault is on is un-safe. It
is very easy to use. Go to www.mydigivault.com to try a free eval. You can
only setup one vault per email address. By using DigiVault, and you can
exchange file types that are blocked by firewalls. You can
"send" a document to someone else's vault. Their key is kept on their local
drive, or floppy or RAM card for added security.
e-room is cool, but DigiVault will give you the security that e-room cannot
give you. Laura

David,

We have trialed the e-Room facility and it works over your http stream so
will
have no issues with the firewalls chosen, whether proxy or statefull. The
only
issue is that you are storing sensitive documents (Possibly) on an ASP..

If you trust them to maintain the integrity then this should be ok.

The communications is encrypted between the browser and the server. (It does
however download a 9 Mb client if you want the full functionality)

Regards
Paul

We are considering implementing a product called "eroom" for collaboration
with external business partners.  I am looking for any comments and
experiences about the product.  We will need to operate with both Gauntlet
and Checkpoint FW-1 firewalls.  Any security issues, firewall problems, or
other input would be greatly appreciated. TIA.   dave
