GnuPG Shell

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 | Posted in Security, Software, Uncategorized | No Comments »

Team Tech-FAQ is proud to announce a new tool for your crypto toolbox: GnuPG Shell.

GnuPG Shell

GnuPG Shell is a cross-platform graphical frontend for GNU Privacy Guard.

GnuPG Shell can be used to encrypt, decrypt, and sign files, to verify signatures and to manage private and public keys.

In addition to source code, we provide pre-built installation packages for Debian Linux, RedHat Linux, and Microsoft Windows.

GnuPG Shell is built using:

  • Python- An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, extensible programming language.
  • wxWidgets - A cross-platform GUI and tools library for GTK, MS Windows, and MacOS.
  • Code::Blocks - A cross-platform IDE built around wxWidgets, designed to be extensible and configurable.

GnuPG Shell should make it a shell of a lot easier to keep your data secure. :)

VOIP to Be Used for Emergency Notifications

Monday, November 12th, 2007 | Posted in VoIP News | 1 Comment »

Organizations look to unified communications for efficiency and emergency preparedness:

"It’s just another way of trying to get a message out to students. When something bad happens like the Virginia Tech [shooting], you have to try to get to students any way you can," said Steve Stempien, director of information services at Adrian College.

The technology also has more prosaic, albeit important, uses. Admissions counselors at the college intend to use the new Mobile Call Manager as a way to "stay in communication with prospective students," said Stempien.

This and other functionalities are part of a package that ShoreTel is introducing Nov. 12 as it tries to jump on the unified communications bandwagon.
