  1. Network of Hemispheric Legal Cooperation in the Area of Family and Child Law Introduction to the Secure Component November 10, 2010Washington, D.C.

  2. Agenda • Secure Component tool • Contacts and Messaging • Workspaces • Hypothetical Case

  3. What is Groupware? Communication(Instant Messaging) Common Goals and Objectives Information Sharing (Workspaces) Coordination Groupware

  4. Secure Groupware Security(Encryption) Communication(Instant Messaging) Common Goals and Objectives Information (Workspaces) Coordination Groupware

  5. E-mail vs. Secure Groupware E-mail • Message is not encrypted • Message can be intercepted • Message can be altered • Message is not confidential Internet • Attached documents are not encrypted • Both message and attachments can be intercepted • Both message and attachments can be altered • Both message and attachments are not confidential

  6. E-mail vs. Secure Groupware Message remains encrypted when stored in the hard drive and while in transit Internet • Message is encrypted all the time • Message can not be deciphered • Message can not be altered • If user is behind a off-line, OAS servers are used • Authenticity, Integrity and Availability

  7. Initial Considerations • Facilitate communications among points of contact on Mutual Legal Assistance. • Confidentiality of the information: • No central database • No OAS Member State has control over the application • SG/OAS has no access to the information shared by the participants • Decision in 2003: • Groove Networks

  8. Evolution of the Plataform • 2003 – Implementation of Groove Networks • 2005 – Microsoft acquires Groove Networks • 2007 – Microsoft integrates Groove to Office 2007 • 2010 – Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 • Integration with content management platform

  9. Evolution of the Plataform • 2007- OAS/Microsoft agreement • 2007 version available in: • English • Spanish • French • Portuguese • Technology upgrade:

  10. Technology Upgrade • New platform only works in 64-bit platforms 32 • Migration to new 64-bit servers required MIGRATED • Upgrade Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 64-bit UPGRADED The SG/OAS has upgraded the current platform to its latest version

  11. Technology Upgrade ManagementServer Relay Server Groove 3.1 Windows 2000 32-bit Windows 2000 32-bit Relay Servers ManagementServer OfficeGroove 2007 Storage AreaNetwork Windows 2003 64-bit Windows 2003 64-bit Windows 2003 64-bit

  12. Components of Groove within the OAS Infrastructure Public and Private components Microsoft OfficeGroove 2007 Groove Users

  13. Security • Authenticity, Integrity and availability of the information contained in the local hard drive and while in transit • Authenticity: information is only available to the intended recipient • Integrity: information is never altered or modified • Availability: information is always available and ready to be used when desired • Use of Certificate Authority (CA) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) • High encryption standards used

  14. Secure Communications System • Definition: • It is a software that allows groups of geographically separated individuals to work together securely over public networks such as the Internet. Security is always enabled and it is not optional.

  15. Secure Communications System Features • Efficient use of the Network – Bandwidth optimization • Synchronization – can be used off-line • Security is always enabled • Data encryption – local and while in transit • Compatibility with MS Office applications • User awareness • Alerts • Users decide who they share information with • Easy to use

  16. Launchbar • Contacts panel • Workspaces • Common tasks

  17. Status Indicators • Active • Online • Online – No Activity • Offline • New Content

  18. Alerts • Notifications of status change, content updates and user presence • Contacts • Workspaces • Content

  19. Contacts Panel • The contact panel shows the list of every participant added. This panel is different from the contact panel that appears in the Workspaces • Options in the contacts panel: • Adding contacts using the Search functionality • Deleting contacts • Show contacts status

  20. Messaging • Messages can be sent to an individual or a group • Messages can contain text, pictures, documents or audio • Messages are sent immediately if the receiver is online.

  21. Message History • The message history maintains a list of sent and received messages

  22. Workspace Definition • A workspace is a place for information sharing among individuals with common goals and objectives

  23. Workspace Definition • The information within a Workspace is highly dynamic • The information is synchronized instantaneously with the online members of the Workspace • Any change in the Workspace is synchronized with offline users as soon as they reconnect • Only Workspace members can access the information shared in that Workspace
