Security Features and Enhancements
Password for pcPresent (PowerPoint slides)
When you are presenting launching a presentation from a PC, you
can specify a password for that presentation. Users must enter the
specified password in order to load the presentation. If you wish to
view the presentation, you must enter the meeting password.
Digest Implementation
Digest authentication is used for sending passwords to the Web
server for enhanced security.
Basic authentication, which is the current form of authentication,
uses a very simple algorithm to encode the user name and
password. For example, people "snooping" on the packets sent to
your system can capture these packets and decode the admin
password in five minutes. Digest authentication is a much more
complicated algorithm than basic authentication. Even if people
manage to capture one of the packets that contain Digest
authentication, they cannot decipher the admin password .
Adtran 512
Polycom has enabled enhanced integration with the Adtran 512 ISU
IMUX including RS-366 dialing from the system’s user interface
(V.35). This allows end-users to dial calls from the system’s address
book or dialing screen instead of having to manually enter in the
number on the Adtran keypad. This is especially useful when used
with KIV or KG encryption devices that require an external IMUX
such as the Adtran 512 ISU to dial calls.
