TANGO 2 Core Enhancements I
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)
