TheKBase Desktop Gets Password Protection

TheKBase Desktop 2.1.2 is almost out. Amongst the most interesting features is the possibility to add password encryption using known-cryptographic algorithms and adhering strictly to the XML-ENC standards (http://www.w3.org/Encryption/2001/).  TheKBase Mobile will also have the encryption functionality.

TheKBase Multi-user Prototype

TheKBase Multi-user prototyping continues. Now we are hosting a stable version using the following technology stack (from back to front): MySql and Sql 2000 databases, ASP.NET (hosting administration console and Web Services server), and .NET 2.0 client.

The .NET 2.0 client is very non-Web 2.0, and the second half of 2006 will be dedicated to replacing it with some kind of Flash or AJAX front-end.

For the time being, work will continue on the back end: users will be able to create their own Kbases and users on the back end, and use TheKBase client to access them.
