Hello Chandan! Thanks very much for the feedback comments and for dropping by to share some further thoughts on this thread. Welcome to elsua! I really appreciate you taking a few minutes to share with you some very thoughtful comments on how Damaka has been built up all along and which I am hoping would be helping folks get a much better idea of how Damaka is shaping up to become a very powerful collaborative environment for real-time interactions.

Oh, by the way, stay tuned for a follow up weblog entry I am in the process of drafting out because I am actually going to be sharing my initial feedback with the latest upgrade of Damaka that I feel is going to imply a before and an after for real-time interactions. Stay tuned as it is coming up over the next couple of days.

Thanks again for dropping by and do please keep up the superb piece of work ! Great stuff!

Mr Roberts is absolutely correct. I work for damaka and I can attest that both signaling and media is encrypted. damaka is end to end secure. In fact, our technology is DIRECT PEERING, that means we do not use relays or super nodes like other popular products. So the customers are completely secure and safe.

Go ahead and try damaka now (http://www.damaka.com). Sign up (http://www.damaka.com/signup) for the service (of course it is free) and enjoy the wonderful features like free phone & video calls, desktop sharing, whiteboarding, free tv and radio and so much more….

If you want to test with me feel free to add me as your buddy – my damaka id is “chandan”

Speaking of encryption and blocking, I was talking to a damaka sales rep recently and learned that even their SIP signaling is encrypted. (That’s what is the meant by full end-to-end encryption). In fact, some people claim it’s not SIP because they couldn’t trace the SIP signaling. But the company assured me it is SIP-based and offered to connect to my SIP server as long as I provide the SIP credentials. Hope this helps.

Hi tech1show ! Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the feedback input ! Welcome to elsua!

I must say that when I first checked out Damaka one of the things that I really enjoyed finding out some more was to know the fact that Damaka does offer encryption of the messages and the VoIP components as can be read in the Security link here. In fact, if you go and start an IM conversation with someone you would be able to see on the top left of the chat window a lock icon with the word Secure indicating that conversation is secure enough to get things going. However, for the technicalities I am just going to leave it to the Damaka developers to chime in and confirm what the actual security specs are.

Hope that helps.

Hi Sandel / Woods ! Thanks a lot for letting us know about this. Yes, I got a noticed earlier on this morning that there was a new version of Damaka that was putting together some really cool features, some of which you have mentioned already above. I must say that I haven’t been able to try out the new video capabilities since I didn’t have a chance to look into that just yet, but as soon as I am able to do so I will have a look and see how it goes. Judging from your comments it looks like Damaka may have exceeded the expectations once again and we may be witnessing one of those VoIP collaborative tools that you just cannot ignore.

Thanks again for the feedback and will surely catch up with you some time ! Have a good one!
