Wincom 2 is a program used for sending secure messages through the web with another user. It was released just yesterday, October 06, 2008, so it is definitely a latest. It encrypts your message to make it more secure but it requires you to input the other user’s IP address. To use this program, you just have to connect to a secure host and you may now start typing. This program is one of those “security first” because it just have a simple design, but really, security should always be prioritized. This program is not licensed so it is free, but it only works in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server. It doesn’t work on Windows Vista, but I think many of us still use these previous versions of XP because Windows Vista is pretty expensive. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that there were 4 previous versions of Winom 2.

Security features

One of Skype’s awesome features is Secure communication; because the encryption can’t be disabled, and the user cannot see it. Skype is said to use non-proprietary, widely trusted encryption techniques: It utilizes the RSA for key negotiation and the Advanced Encryption Standard to encrypt conversations. Skype gives an uncontrolled registration system for users with absolutely no proof of identity which permits the users to use the system without revealing to other users who they are.

Of course it is easy for just anybody to make an account using made up names; when this happens the displayed caller’s name is no guarantee of authenticity.

Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing in skype was introduced in January 2006 for the Windows and Mac OS X platform clients. Skype 2.0 for Linux, which was released last March 13, 2008, also features support for videoconferencing
Skype for Windows, starting with version 3.6.0.216, supports “High Quality Video” with quality and features such as full-screen and screen-in-screen modes, which are similar to that of mid-range videoconferencing systems.
