These are all excellent questions. I don’t work on this project, I've just used it to exchange files with others on campus and wanted to let others know. It doesn’t look like there’s a specific phone or email address to contact for questions like this on the main page or the TechBase article. Therefore I’d suggest directing these great questions to the help desk at (517) 432-6200 and ask them to open a ticket. They’ll know who the right person is to answer these questions.

I want to piggie back on his. This looks like the zend.to product. Can you tell us if this is zend.to or some other home grown product? If this is indeed a 3rd party product, have you reviewed the code to verify it's security? Otherwise the trouble of encrypted filesystems and being sanctioned for MSU data sharing is no longer important. Thanks Adam On 02/18/14 09:04, Rich Tibbals wrote: Hi, My research dean asks....
