What's new in Endpoint Encryption 4.6.9.8319

Aug 26, 2010

Fixes:
The file and process monitoring logic running on 32 bit should now properly work without regard to the bitness of the application working with the secured document. Users on 64 bit machines, running the eUSB Client or a standalone executable, risked to encounter problems when saving changes to a document.
Fixed an issue regarding the process monitoring logic, and it being activate for processes belonging to other users. In some cases, that could cause unexpected eFile and eUSB behaviour within a multi-user environment (Terminal Server environments).
Fixed an issue that could occur if a quick change was made to a secured document (quickly performing open, edit, save, close). This could result in that changes didn't get properly reflected to the secured area.
The workflow should now properly follow the user instructions given in the 'confirm overwrite'-dialog that shows when changes has already been made to a secured document by another user or process. If the user cancels the dialog, the securing-procedure will now properly be canceled. The 'Save as Copy' button on this dialog has been renamed to 'Create Copy', to better represent the action.
The 'confirm overwrite'-dialog that shows when changes has already been made to a secured document by another user or process will now only appear when supposed to.
The intended template for a document-type should now properly be used when creating a new document within a secured area. Secured eFile & eUSB
Resolved an issue on 64 bit machines, running Microsoft Office. Secured Microsoft Word Documents was incorrectly opened for editing by Wordpad instead of Microsoft Word. Secured eFile should now handle file-associations in the same way as the the current OS on any architecture. Secured eFile
Resolved an text resource issue where a caption was missing from a button in the frontend-dialog. The dialog appears when running a standalone executable, created out from a secured file.
Improvements:
Improved eFile securing procedures within environments running Kaspersky Antivirus. The Antivirus solutions made files inaccessible by user level processes, causing the securing operation to fail with a 'file not found' error. Some changes has been made to counter this scenario, in turn causing failure to occur less frequent.

’None local storage’ mode added for secured groups - Client will not store Secured group access locally, instead requesting keys from the server.
Secured group seed can be entered directly as a password even if not connected to a SEP sever.
eUSB backup path policy now synchronizes with SEP sever and custom location is allowed through browse functionality.
eFile, eFolder and toolbar icons have been changed from bitmap to icon format. This will improve quality and the transparency of the icons.
Tooltips added to eFolder and eUSB folder view.
Context menu added for shared secrets, add, copy, paste and delete.

Securing a USB stick with master password now enables access to the secured area from other places then the same specific stick. For example a backup.
Browse functionality has been added to eUSB deployment property page, for entering location for eUSB backup location, this will allow central control on default backup location for eUSB.
Description has been added in to the ’License’ section of SEP client explaining that the license being displayed is distorted intentionally.
Improvements have been made to make eFile more robust in operations involving parallel working from different windows applications over the network.
eFolder and eUSB solutions have been improved and made more robust for operations involving drag and drop operations.
Secured documents can now be unsecured on terminal server.
Scrollbar added for viewing shared secrets with many characters in SEP Client Settings within Secured contact properties.
A multitude of different application file icons are now graphically supported in Windows Vista and XP.
Fixes:
USB memory sticks that are secured on Windows XP with ’do not allow unsecured content’ now can be re-secured in Windows Vista without issues.
Backwards compatibility has been fixed for templates using Unicode; they will no longer be dropped.
The SEP Client has now fully been translated in to German and Norwegian language.
The USB Deployment checkbox-options regarding backup procedures and 'secure existing content' are no longer visible if running Secured eUSB in limited state, since a limited license of eUSB doesn’t support securing existing information.
Incorrect log entry for cancelling ’Send Secured’ in trial license is fixed.
When performing simultaneous operations on a Secured eUSB and removing the eUSB at the same time, could result in a possible eUSB crash. This issue has now been fixed and concurrent operations are possible to perform.
On a specific versions of Outlook 2003 and 2007 combined with specific configuration a copy, of a already opened Secured eMail, always ended up in Outlooks ’deleted folder’ in a unsecured appearance. The issue has now been fixed.
The SEP Client Settings-Profile Management could not present a server name with many characters. Profile Management graphical user interface is now adjusted to properly display long server names.
When a document was opened from a eUSB secured area location and the eUSB was pulled the wiping process of the opend document, in a temporary location, was not performed. Issues related to wiping of files from Window’s temp location while pulling out eUSB has been fixed. This also improves wiping for secured eFile and eFolder operations as they work in a similar way.
Fix has been made to avoid potential connection loss between SEP Client and SEP Server during transactions involving large amount of data.
A secured eFile or eFolder can be converted to stand alone executable file. ’Detect and Repair’ option has been removed for the executable file (EXE), because the .exe file is static and can’t be updated trough this operation.
The template designer had an issue when ’insert items’ were used and dropped on to the editor. This issue has been fixed.
SEP Client logging module logs all the action performed involving SEP Client. The logging module earlier skipped logs for cancellation of secure/unsecure operation, and some of the action authentication operations. This has been fixed now.

Issues related to secure/unsecure process hanging in the task manager have been fixed.

New in Endpoint Encryption 4.0.75 (Apr 3, 2009)
