People from CryptoMail.org, Peter Leung and Joshua Teitelbaum will appear in two conferences in San Francisco and Romulus in the coming year.  The main topic of the conferences will focus on the technology and protocol specifications of CryptoMail Email System.  You can obtain the most updated information from Forum News in our website.

In both of the conferences, CodeCon 2002 and Rubi Con 2002, Peter and Joshua will discuss future direction of the organization, and they will meet people who might be interested in joining or contributing to our organization.

CodeCon 2002

In CodeCon 2002, our chief developer, Joshua Teitelbaum will show a live demon, including create an account, log in an account, and send a mail from an account to another.  Also, he will talk about the security features of CryptoMail Email System.  At the end of the conference, he will also answer some of your question about CryptoMail Email System.

CodeCon 2002 is the premier event for the P2P, cypherpunk, and network/security application developer community.  It is a workshop for developers of real-world applications that support individual liberties.

Java Plug-In Problem

Recently, we found a problem that disallows CryptoMail Email Client to be loaded in Netscape 6 with Java Plug-in 1.3.1 or higher in Windows NT with Service Pack 6.

Users were unable to run CryptoMail Email Client applet without administrator right.  If you try to run our CryptoMail Email Client, you will not be able to see the email client applet.  Instance, you only see the Java Applet window showing "Loading Java" message.  This problem does not occur, when you are logging on as Administrator or a user with administrator right.  In addition, this problem only occurs under Windows NT with Service Pack 6.

After testing and fact finding about the problem, we believed that it is caused by the Service Pack 6.  You will need to up date your Windows NT to Service Pack 6a with the hot-fix from Microsoft, if you are currently using Service Pack 6.  For more information about the Service Pack, you can found it from Microsoft.com knowledge base, article Q245678.

No Binary Distribution

CryptoMail.org is no longer distributing our CryptoMail Email Server binary distribution, because the binary distribution might not be able to configure itself to work with the third party (MySQL or Sendmail) software installation in your system.  You will need to download the source code, configure, compile and install to your server.

On Going Activities
