23. Encryption
Acronis Backup and Security 2010 offers encryption capabilities to protect your
confidential documents and your instant messaging conversations through Yahoo
Messenger and MSN Messenger.
23.1. Instant Messaging (IM) Encryption
By default, Acronis Backup and Security 2010 encrypts all your instant messaging
chat sessions provided that:
● Your chat partner has an Acronis product installed that supports IM Encryption
and IM Encryption is enabled for the instant messaging application used for
chatting.
● You and your chat partner use either Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live (MSN)
Messenger.
Important
Acronis Backup and Security 2010 will not encrypt a conversation if a chat partner
uses a web-based chat application such as Meebo, or if one of the chat partners
uses Yahoo! and the other Windows Live (MSN).
To configure instant messaging encryption, go to Encryption>IM Encryption in
Expert Mode.
Note
You can easily configure instant messaging encryption using the Acronis toolbar from
the chat window. For more information, please refer to “Integration into Instant
Messenger Programs” (p. 263).
