Encryption

The TrilogyEC can operate in two different encryption modes.  In either mode, all data, files, personal & profile information and chat messages are encrypted using 256 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.  The only difference between the two modes is whether the pass key is internally generated (allowing connections to all TrilogyEC users), or whether the pass key is generated from a user-defined password (allowing connections to only those TrilogyEC users who have entered the same password).  The two modes are:

Secure

This mode utilizes 256 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), U.S. military grade encryption with an internally generated pass key.  Sessions conducted in this mode are secure and only those users with a TrilogyEC can participate.  The TrilogyEC is set in Secure mode by default.

Ultra-Secure mode can be enabled at any time during a conference, allowing groups of individuals to break away from the original chat session to their own private environment. 

Note: If you are currently connected to multiple people and you choose go Ultra-Secure, any member that does not will be unable to communicate with you during the session.

Use the Encryption Configuration screen to specify which security mode that the TrilogyEC should start up in.  To change the current security mode of the TrilogyEC while it is running, use the Security Window found in the main interface.
