Communication (Instant Messaging) Information Sharing (Workspaces) Coordination Groupware Common Goals and Objectives What is Groupware?

Security (Encryption) Communication (Instant Messaging) Information (Workspaces) Coordination Groupware Secure Groupware Common Goals and Objectives

Message is not encrypted Message can be intercepted Message can be altered Message is not confidential Internet Attached documents are not encrypted Both message and attachments can be intercepted Both message and attachments can be altered Both message and attachments are not confidential vs. Secure Groupware

Message remains encrypted when stored in the hard drive and while in transit Internet Message is encrypted all the time Message can not be deciphered Message can not be altered vs. Secure Groupware If user is behind a off-line, OAS servers are used Authenticity, Integrity and Availability

Initial Considerations Facilitate communications among points of contact on Mutual Legal Assistance. Facilitate communications among points of contact on Mutual Legal Assistance. Confidentiality of the information: Confidentiality of the information: No central database No central database No OAS Member State has control over the application No OAS Member State has control over the application SG/OAS has no access to the information shared by the participants SG/OAS has no access to the information shared by the participants Decision in 2003: Groove Networks Groove Networks

Security Authenticity, Integrity and availability of the information contained in the local hard drive and while in transit Authenticity: information is only available to the intended recipient Integrity: information is never altered or modified Availability: information is always available and ready to be used when desired Use of Certificate Authority (CA) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) High encryption standards used

Secure Communications System Definition: It is a software that allows groups of geographically separated individuals to work together securely over public networks such as the Internet. Security is always enabled and it is not optional.

Secure Communications System Features Efficient use of the Network – Bandwidth optimization Synchronization – can be used off-line Security is always enabled Data encryption – local and while in transit Compatibility with MS Office applications User awareness Alerts Users decide who they share information with Easy to use
