Release Overview

This release of InTether Desktop Enterprise Edition contains many new features and enhancements to the Desktop Packager, Outlook and Lotus email plug-in, InTether ID Manager and the InTether Receiver. Descriptions of these new features are provided in this section.

InTether Outlook Plugin - InTether Email Body

Figure 1 - New InTether Email Body Icon

The Microsoft Outlook plug in now includes an InTether email body button. This will allow you to edit a new email and save the contents in an InTether format. The original email is saved in your sent items folder. The addition or deletion of this feature is available through the Install program.

Receiver Changes

The release 2.5.0.0 receiver accommodates new permissions, Encrypt Only and Print Only. When absorbing an “Encrypt Only” package, the new Absorb Encrypt Only InTether File dialog will be presented. This dialog has an area to enter the password, if required and an area for you to specify where the file will be saved.

This release of the receiver no longer has the Content Manager. All content is managed through the native Windows file system. You can access all packaged and received files via Windows Explorer. By default, all saved files will be placed in the c:\InTether\<user name>\Received directory.

The amount of data being received is now restricted only by the amount of the hard disk space available. The previous release restricted the amount of data being received to one gig. There must be at least 10 meg plus the files size being received to continue using the InTether Receiver.

Packager Interface Enhancements

Figure 2 - New Desktop Packager Interface

When you begin to use the email plug-in packagers and the desktop packager, you will notice that the interface has changed since the last release. These changes accommodate the two new features for the packager. These features are Encrypt Only and Allow Printing.

Encrypt only allows you to create InTether Packages that are just encrypted. When Encrypt only is selected, authentication options (password and Include Recipient’s ID) are the only other options that can be selected. Once the recipient receives an “encrypt only” package, the file and associated applications will behave in the normal unsecured manner. The encrypt only permission is selected by default the first time you use the product.

Allow Printing allows the recipient to print the contents of an InTethered file. Save, Cut/Copy/Paste and Screen Capture are restricted operations.

Desktop Packager

The Desktop Packager is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is used to package or InTether files. The Lotus and Outlook Plug-ins enable access to the desktop packager while working with a new email message. The InTether Receiver is a stand-alone program that allows the recipient of an InTethered file to access the content in a secure manner. The permissions associated with a secure file are defined by the originator of the InTether packager. This set of tests will guide you through the features of the desktop packager and the receiver.

Test Case TC011: Begin executing the InTether Desktop Packager by double clicking on the InTether Packager Icon located on your desktop. Select a file that you would like to package by pressing the browse button located next to the “Select file for packaging” field. Click on the “Encrypt & Add Permissions” button. Press “Create Package” to create the InTethered Package. You will be prompted to view the secure files. Press “Yes” to view the package you just created. Double click on the package and an InTether Absorb dialog will be presented. Select “Save & Open” to view your secured file.

Click on the Encrypt Only button. Press “Create Package” to create the InTethered Package. You will be prompted to view the secure files. Press “Yes” to view the package you just created. Double click on the package and the Absorb Encrypt Only InTether File dialog will be presented. Select “Save & Open” to view your encrypted file.

Expected Results: An encrypted file will be created. When the file is accessed, there is no Secure Process Monitor. The file does not have any limitations such as restrictions on cut, paste, save or print.

Test Case TC013: From the InTether Desktop Packager, select a file that you would like to package by pressing the browse button located next to the “Select file for packaging” field. Click on the “Encrypt & Add Permissions” button. Select “Allow Printing”. Press “Create Package” to create the InTethered Package. You will be prompted to view the secure files.

Select the UID for your beta test partner from the global database and press ok. Create the package and send the email to your beta test partner and one other beta participant.

Expected Results: An email is sent with an InTethered Attachment. The beta test partner is the only person who can read the attachment.

Test Case TC017: This is the last test case but the most time consuming. Ideally, we would like each test team to create and email 100 InTether packages.

Package supported file types and also be sure to try and package file types that are not supported. Place in your email the permissions used so that the recipient can verify the correct permissions were received. The recipient should also verify that cut, copy, paste, print, and screen capture are blocked as appropriate.

Expected Results: All possible file types can be packaged and received. Various sizes can be absorbed into the Receiver. All permissions can be used and are working correctly. File Types that are not supported cannot be packaged.
