Innovative encryption software for IMs available for free as yet

Global Information Technology (UK) Ltd, is currently distributing beta version of IMCrypto, tool for secure IM chats, for free. Its only difference from the full version is support of one IM and one secure contact only. The release of the full version - IMCrypto Pro - is expected soon.

    LONDON, UK, December 25, 2008 /Security PR News/ -- An IM message is supposed to be read by just one person - its addressee. If its contents fall to somebody else's hands, consequences of this are most likely to be unpleasant. It is security concerns that prevent users from using IMs for anything more serious that chit-chat, although they could be handy for much more things, say, talking business or conducting negotiations. Protecting IMs can be a good solution to this problem, so Global Information Technology (UK) Limited, a security software vendor, developed IMCrypto - a reliable encryption tool to be used with popular instant messengers like Yahoo! Messenger or ICQ.

What is more, Global Information Technology (UK) Limited is currently giving this by all means helpful product out as freeware. IMCrypto Free is a fully functional freeware version of IMCrypto; it has all the necessary functions to establish secure conversation. The only difference is that it supports only one IM and can be used to communicate only with one person at a time. Supported instant messenger is chosen during the installation of the program.

IMCrypto Free version works under Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems; it is compatible with most of the commonly used instant messengers. One of the strongest and most reliable encryption algorithms - RSA - is utilized in IMCrypto; moreover, the encryption key is unique for each pair 'sender-recipient'. The key is complex enough to make decryption almost impossible - trying to decrypt a message without the key simply isn't worth time and effort.

So, with IMCrypto installed, even if an IM message is intercepted it becomes useless for anyone else but its addressee.

Global Information Technology (UK) Limited actively distributes its products as freeware and shareware. The Research Group members consider freeware distribution to be the most reasonable and fair way of making their exclusive solutions known to people they were created for - to end users.
