SecurityCustomer Support Main System Requirements SightSpeed addresses application security in several ways. The SightSpeed Server contact list traffic is encrypted using 128 bit SSL. This provides each client with a secure path to login, pass registration data, add/remove contacts, manage SightSpeed membership details, and up to the minute status on contacts. The actual peer-to-peer data stream itself is protected only by the fact that the SightSpeed proprietary compression technique adds a complex and fifficult to decrypt layer of security by making use of change frames. Change frames require previously sent packets for decompression, which means that an eavesdropper would need to capture the entire data stream to understand parts of the conference. When combined with our truly peer-to-peer model, the attacker would need to be somewhere along the data path. Also worth of note is the fact that SightSpeed servers are only used to initiate the call by exchanging connection information between the endpoints. Once the call is initiated, all data passes peer-to-peer directly between the endpoints. With two party calls data never passes through a SightSpeed server. For customers who require greater security, the peer-to-peer data stream can be encrypted using algorithms such as 3DES or AES with 128-256 bit key lengths. SightSpeed has also developed several encryption plug-in modules, which add no perceivable latency to the conference. However, encryption uses higher bandwidth and requires a faster CPU.
