Transceiver
For the past 3 years, our company has been developing a new technology for secure file delivery. This week we officially released the technology called Transceiver. It works a bit like e-mail, but for transmitting files instead of mail messages. Here are some of the features:
- Designed to be secure: end-to-end security is the primary goal.
- Designed to be private: network sniffing will not reveal who is sending files to who.
- Uses a white-list system to avoid the problem of spam: you will only receive files from people you add to your list of Trusted Addresses.
- No file size limitation (of course it's limited to the available disk space).
- If you send a file to someone, you can track the entire transmission: you can see exactly where the file is, and when it moves from machine to machine.
- We're developing different client applications for different scenarios:
- Transceiver Communicator: an interactive Windows application that works like a regular e-mail client. On top of Communicator, we've also developed add-ins for Word 2003, Word 2007, Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 that talk to Communicator. We'll also release a .NET 2.0 library for other developers to integrate with Communicator.
- Transceiver Automator: an application that runs as a Windows service and that can transmit and receive files automatically. It can be configured to handle incoming files or transmitting files to predefined destinations.
We encourage people to try out the Transceiver technology for free: we've deployed a server and a website where you can request an account (free for 3 months).
