From Information and Communications ARL MSRC Year 3 Annual Review ARL MSRC PET Annual Review and Planning Workshop, Aberdeen, MD, -- August 3-5, 1999. byGeoffrey Fox, David Bernholdt, Roman Markowski, Doug Fein
Tango 1 highly functional, but needed major renovations for better generality, flexibility
Brand new Graphical User Interface
Simpler interface based on lessons from Tango 1.4
Improves ergonomy and saves screen space
However more Java code (swing classes), so longer to download
Authentication and security
Server-based user authentication, secret key based, strength better than UNIX but still not in Kerberos league
Support for sharing local encrypted data (currently simple files, with RDBMS, HTTP-based files written, not integrated -- release 2.1)
Server Registration (eliminates rogue servers , server spoofing)
