Hi, I have been thinking of trying to get Djigzo to function as an unofficial third implementation of the new NHIN Direct standard (which is how most doctors in the United States will do direct messaging starting next year) However, I would want to get a confirmation that the Djigzo project will accept patches I make to the codebase for this purpose. I do not really have that much time to work on this, and if I do contribute I want to verify that it is not in vain. Are there examples of patches to Djigzo from the community that have been accepted into the Djigzo tree? I need to determine, quickly if this is a "collaborative" project or merely an "openly developed" project. Thanks, -FT -- Fred Trotter http://www.fredtrotter.com

Re: [Djigzo users] Regarding NHIN Direct

We are already utilizing this to send encrypted messages for sensitive information to federal government facilities. It works, and complies with federal FISMA regulations, which works with us and our clients in Washington, D.C. However... As we also perform work for a client within the Healthcare sector, I checked with their information security department, and the verbiage states "reasonable security measures be taken" under the provisioning of HIPAA. Essentially, you *could* utilize this program for ePHI file/data transfers, but I would *not* recommend it, due to the legal implications of ePHI being leaked or intercepted during transmission.

Re: [Djigzo users] Regarding NHIN Direct

by Bob Radvanovsky

No, I *do* "get it". I work as a contractor for a large healthcare provider here in Illinois. The NHIN is an outreach program similar to HSIN. I am involved in IT, control systems (SCADA), energy, transportation, and food. Look me up on Amazon. I'm published on many of these topics: here...http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Infrastructure-Homeland-Emergency-Pre… here...http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Infrastructure-Homeland-Emergency-Pre… and, here...http://www.amazon.com/Transportation-Systems-Security-Allan-McDougal… Oh, and BTW, I had access to ARPANet long before most people had access to "The Intenet". I have been in IT since 1978. Many people don't know where "bootstrap" came from -- I *do*. ;P Back to NHIN... There are many "subnet'd private networks" that exist out there. SIPRNET and NIPRNET are prime examples of this. NHIN is (probably) an extension of HSIN. Currently DHS is doing some "cleaning house" on their network.

Re: [Djigzo users] How to overide global static password preference?

by Vladimir Strezhnev

RE: The reason this has never been a problem is that in most cases a global or domain password for PDF encryption is not used. We chose djigzo specifically because of encrypted PDF option. It fits ideally in our business model (employee benefits administration for small and mid-sized businesses, school systems and organizations.) Since HIPAA mandated standards-based implementations of security controls by all health care organizations that create, store or transmit electronic protected health information we had to secure correspondence with our customers' current and retired employees. The routine should be extremely easy. The S/MIME and other PKI stuff is not an option as you might guess. :).

[Djigzo users] How to overide global static password preference?

by Vladimir Strezhnev

Hi Our global preferences are set to static password with -1 validity interval. If we try to create a domain or a user with random password (password is blank and uninherited, validity interval is set to 0 and also uninherited) djigzo does not accept these settings and reverts to global password with inherit checked. If password is not blank then it is set as static and never changes. The only way to create a random password user is to temporarily change global preferences to random, create a user and then change global preferences to static again. Are we doing something wrong? (Version: 1.3.2-1 . Built: 2010-03-29-10:20 .)

Re: [Djigzo users] Thunderbird addon

by martijn＠djigzo.com

Thanks for the link. I'm using thunderbird as well so I will check how hard it is to modify it to show the djigzo headers. Martijn --- Sent with djigzo for blackberry.

You could have a look at the DispMUA thunderbird addon [1] and perhaps modify that code to match the Djigzo headers rather than the MUA headers, and update the icons accordingly. This could turn into a very interesting plugin to provide S/MIME, GPG and other security-related information.

[Djigzo users] Thunderbird addon

by Andreas Anderson

Hello list, Slighly offtopic, does somoeone know an addon for Thunderbird that can display custom icons based on (the djigzo-) mail-headers, so i can see if the mail was encrypted/signed without looking through the headers? Andreas _________________________________________________________________

Re: [Djigzo users] How to find out encrypted mails

by Martijn Brinkers

> Yes you're right. But as an administrator of a network I prefer a > centralized view if a mail was successful en- /decrypted There was already a request to add statistics (like number of encryptions/decryption per time frame). This will be added in upcoming releases. For the time being you can either set some loggers to debug to get more debug info (like you already did) or if you really require more info you can in principle modify config.xml and add some extra checks and logging. > Are ther some logger level setting for incoming mails? You can set the log level to debug for: mitm.common.security.smime.handler.SMIMEHandler This will give you more info about decryption etc. Kind regards, Martijn Baur Dieter wrote: > Hi, > > Yes you're right.

[Djigzo users] DJizgo and PGP in futer releases

by Baur Dieter

Hello Are the plans to include PGP/GPG functionality in future releases of djigzo? I also missing a Keyserver / Certificateserver functionality. It should be nice to provide the public RootCA certificate on a external Website with a search function to search the users public certificates. Greetings Dieter
