BitWise Personal is free and may be used only for personal use. BitWise Personal may not be used in any business or for any commercial purpose. Not-for-profit and educational organizations are included in our definition of a business. BitWise Professional may be used for any purpose, business or otherwise. Businesses and other organizations are required to purchase a BitWise Professional Network.

Long answer: while we do keep usage numbers, we are not releasing them at this time. From experience, people have a perception of how big BitWise "should be," and when the actual number turns out to be bigger or smaller than expected, certain conclusions are made and/or perceptions change unreasonably about BitWise's service. Therefore, we choose to keep usage statistics out of the public domain at this time.

No, just like BitWise Personal, BitWise Plus is meant only for home users. BitWise Professional is required for use in a business, and includes all of the BitWise Plus features. Please see the BitWise Professional Overview for more information.

Themes are available from the Theme forum. We are always interested in accepting new themes if you have one or would like to create one.

BitWise* is an automated message system, and cannot be added to your contact list. *BitWise* can inform users of different events, such as when they are added as a super buddy, or when someone adds you to their contact list.

The short answer: BitWise uses encryption on all messages and files sent between you and your contacts; this includes whiteboards, shared file lists, and chat rooms. You can verify the encryption by using a packet sniffer on yourself to watch your network traffic. The long answer: Our white paper Introduction to encryption and how BitWise uses encryption explains in detail how BitWise's encryption works and how the encryption protects and benefits you.

You need to be able to establish outgoing connections on ports 4038 and 4039. For optimal performance, you need both incoming and outgoing connectivity on port 4137. You may not change the ports that BitWise uses. Allowing different ports would substantially detract from the ease of communication among BitWise users.

Yes, emoticons are planned for inclusion in BitWise. After the release of Version 1 we will be moving the conversations to an HTML format, at which time emoticons will be able to be included, along with additional text formatting options.

There are no restrictions on academic use of the data, but they may not be repackaged or redistributed for profit-making enterprises. Contact the SGD Director Mike Cherry (cherry@genome.stanford.edu) for further information.

BIOSKINCARE™ applied to open or fresh wounds will itch during a few seconds, which is uncomfortable but has no other consequence. We even recommend to immediately apply a second layer after the itching is over.

Yes, both the site itself and any downloaded audio files have restrictions. The website is for demonstration purposes only. Website resources are limited and are needed to support these pages. It is not a free service. Direct access to the CGI scripts is not permitted. You may refer people to this site but you cannot have users enter text on your site and use our servers to provide audio, even if you give us credit.

Password security is an important part of Alfred State College's security. Passwords are always case-sensitive, which means a lower-case "a" is different from an upper-case "A". The minimum password length is four characters. It is recommended you use passwords of at least eight characters or more. Also, it is recommended you use a mix of alphabetical and numeric characters for your password.

Creating BitWise for 3 operating systems requires a large number of tools. Here is a list of the major tools used: BitWise, including the client, server and the website, are written in a variety of languages, including C, C++, Perl, php and mySQL.

No, viruses cannot be transmitted when casually using BitWise. This is true for one-on-one conversations, conferences, whiteboards or any non-file transfer activity. The only way to get a virus using BitWise would be to actively accept a file transfer from another user and then run the file sent to you. For this reason, we always encourage our users to be cautious when accepting files from others, just like you would be when receiving email attachments.

Because BitWise is only used for transmission of data (not storage of data), our access controls and logs of who is granted what rights (i.e. who has access to use BitWise and thus receive the data) is sufficient for HIPAA in most environments. That is to say, the information being transmitted over BitWise must come from somewhere--which would be your HIPAA-compliant environment; BitWise is only used for transmission, and our transmission encryption and access controls meet HIPAA guidelines.

Your contacts are notified if your encryption keys change or are missing. This can be a head's up to the possibility that your password has been stolen or you are the victim of a man-in-the-middle attack.

Log in to Web Services, and then click on the "Plus" icon. You can pay using a credit card or PayPal and be activated instantly. You can also mail us a check and we will process your membership after receiving your check.

Absolutely not! BitWise Personal is retaining all of its features, and will continue to receive enhancements in the future. No features were removed from Personal when Plus was released. BitWise Plus adds features that benefit the security-conscious (a.k.a. those with healthy paranoia), and since many users would probably not use the Plus capabilities even if they were available, Personal can hardly be called crippleware.

The email address associated with your BitWise username can be updated by using the Preferences after logging in to Web Services. Once you enter your new address, you will receive an email that will contain a link for you to follow. After you follow that link, your new email address will be confirmed and entered into your user record.

BitWise has "web bugs" that allow you to display your BitWise status (Online, Away, Offline) from your personal web site; you can even link to a special site that shows your BitWise directory information. You can enable web bugs and get the code you need for your web site by logging in to Web Services and clicking on Preferences.

this time, we are not making any statements regarding inclusion of web cam features. We are monitoring new technologies that will enable such support across all operating systems (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X).

BitWise currently has one simple but challenging game called Conquest. There are no plans to create additional games at this time.

Of course! We do ask that you link only to the main BitWise page, unless you have a specific reason that you need to link to another page.

BIOSKINCARE applied to open or fresh wounds will itch during a few seconds, which is uncomfortable but has no other consequence. We even recommend to immediately apply a second layer after the itching is over. Now, since it contains enzymes that peels the skin's surface, you should not apply too much or too frequently. You should also protect your new skin from the sun. Be careful not to place it in contact with the eyes.

In addition, there is a copyright infringement policy on the ITS website that addresses the use of file-sharing programs such as instant messaging and bit torrent clients.

If you purchase the applet? None, so far as web usage. You bought it, you own it, do what you want with it on your sites. We absolutely DO restrict redistribution of our applets in any way (on CD, for instance, or downloads of our products from any other source but this site) without prior legal agreements made with us concerning royalties and remuneration.

Click Export to save your preferences to a file. You may place it anywhere, but you will need it again momentarily. Logging settings may not transfer well due to differences in mounting and usage of removable media on different PCs. Windows/Linux: Unzip/untar the file you just downloaded to your thumbDrive. On your drive, you should see a folder named Bitwise. Open the preferences and choose Import and load your preference file that you previously saved on your thumbdrive.

Yes, you can. You need to generate RSA keys using the PKCS #8: Private-Key Information Syntax Standard. Values should be encoded using ASN.1. The keys themselves should be encoded using DER. The following example will generate RSA keys for use with BitWise (these should work on many Linux installations, or Mac OS X; a method for Windows is still under investigation): You can then use BWPriv.pk8 and BWPub.key as your private and public keys, respectively.
