LuxSci has improved its Support Ticketing interface in the Xpress WebMail portal to function and display well on mobile devices such as the iPhone and Blackberry. Xpress users can now easily submit Support requests or questions using their mobile device or smart phone via a slim new interface. In addition, all LuxSci pages displaying a tree-menu layout of links (e.g. Preferences, Email Tools and Support Tickets pages) have been updated to minimize the display width of these pages.

.jpg) As you may have heard, Barack Obama is tethered to his Blackberry. It’s great to have a highly technical President of the United States, but it is really shaking things up. All of the policies and procedures date back to times before PDAs and smart phones. Obama is really struggling to cling to the same technical edge in his day-to-day affairs that he has enjoyed to date. But the security team at the Oval Office has other plans.
No Blackberry for Obama!
Instead, he gets what is being dubbed the "BarackBerry" — a high security blackberry replacement. Why is the Blackberry (and similar devices) such a security concern?

 The iPhone from Apple is an amazing Smart Phone, if not a mini personal computer in itself. We at LuxSci have been using iPhones since they were first available in 2007 and we have recently optimized our Xpress WebMail portal with a mobile-centric interface inspired by the iPhone. Many of our clients use an iPhone or other Internet-enabled phone or PDA daily with our email services. The time seems right to share some of our knowledge and experience with iPhones.

 SSL and TLS are the workhorses that provide the majority of security in the transmission of data over the Internet today. However, most people do not know that the degree of security and privacy inherent in a "secure" connection of this sort can vary from "almost none" to "really really good … good enough for US government TOP SECRET data". The piece which varies and thus provides the variable level of security is the "cipher" or "encryption technique". There are a large number of different ciphers — some are very fast and very insecure. Some are slower and very secure. Some weak ones (export-grade ciphers) are around from the days when the USA did not permit the export of decent security to other countries.
AES, the Advanced Encryption Standard, is a relatively new encryption technique/cipher that is the successor of DES. AES was standardized in 2001 after a 5 year review, and is currently one of the most popular algorithms used in symmetric key cryptography (which, for example, is used for the actual data transmission in SSL and TLS). It is also the "gold standard" encryption technique; many security-conscious organizations actually require that their employees use AES-256 (256-bit AES) for all communications.
This article discusses AES, its role in SSL, which web browsers and email programs support it, how you can make sure that you only use 256-bit AES encryption of all secure communications, and more.

Domain names ending in ".tel" have gone on sale today. These domain names, like "your-business.tel", are entirely new and function much differently than all other domain names, like those ending in ".com" and ".net". How are these domain names different?
