Shinkuro - secure file sharing / collaboration client
Saw this on Joi Ito’s Web.
Shinkuro is Steve Crocker’s company.
They have a software client aimed at secure collaboration between multiple organizations. It provides file sharing, chat messaging, e-mail, and shared desktop, and encrypts all of the network traffic at the message level rather than relying on SSL. This prevents traffic from being intercepted at a Shinkuro relay server, which functions something like an IRC server.
I keep looking for better tools to support remote collaboration, since almost everything I do these days involves people in at least two time zones, and usually two or three different continents.
