5. 12/2/2003chow5 Interaction between various components

6. 12/2/2003chow6 Associate JabberX client with Keyserver and Jabber server Users login to the Jabber server If login successful, the client registers with the Keyserver. When a user creates/joins a group, the Keyserver gives a key to the client. When a user leaves the group, the Keyserver generates a new key for the remaining members of the group.

16. 12/2/2003chow16 Future work Improve the file transfer capability using Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol. Improve keystone’s error handling mechanism between keyserver/registrar and client manager. Improve keystone client manager by moving it into socket layer and providing socket layer API between a client manager and data processor. Integrate with multilevel secure document distribution system.
