Using Privacy Manager in Windows Live Messenger

Privacy Manager adds the following secure communications features to Windows Live Messenger:
● Secure chat—Messages are transmitted using the SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport
Layer Security) over XML protocol, the same technology that ensures the security of e-commerce
transactions.
●
Recipient identification—You can verify the presence and identity of a person before sending a
message.
●
Signed messages—You can electronically sign your messages. Then, if the message is tampered
with, it will be marked as invalid when the recipient receives it.
●
Hide/show feature—You can hide any or all messages in the Privacy Manager Chat window. You
can also send a message where the content is hidden. Authentication is required before the
message is displayed.
●
Secure chat history—Logs of your chat sessions are encrypted before they are saved and require
authentication in order to be viewed.
● Automatic locking/unlocking—You can lock and unlock the Privacy Manager Chat window or
set it to lock automatically after a specified period of inactivity.
