XMPP Instant Messaging
Whitepapers with a special relevance to XMPP solutions together with those of a more general relevance to Instant Messaging and Presence.
Using Security Labels to
Control Message Flow in XMPP Services
XMPP is widely used by military and government organizations with
stringent security requirements, where it is critical to ensure that
sensitive information is not sent to inappropriate individuals or
domains. Security Labeling is the mechanism of choice for handling
sensitive information in high security environments. This paper looks
at the use of Security Labels in conjunction with XMPP services, and
how Isode plans to enhance its M-Link product to provide Security Label based controls for user-to-user
messaging and for Multi-User Chat.

XMPP, M-Link and Directory
Isode provides both directory and XMPP server products, and the
approach for M-Link (Isode’s XMPP Server) and associated management
tools is to make maximum use of directory. This paper describes
how M-Link makes use of directory, and explains why this close integration
of XMPP and directory is beneficial.

Isode's Presence,
Real Time Messaging and XMPP Strategy
Isode plans to add an XMPP Server to its product set, in order to
provide presence and real time messaging services. XMPP is the Internet
Standard eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, sometimes referred
to as Jabber. This paper sets out why Presence and Real Time Messaging
are important to Isode's customers and markets, why XMPP, and not
another technology, why Isode is building a product, rather than integrating
with available XMPP servers and outlines what Isode will be providing.

Operational Monitoring and
Control of Systems using Isode Servers
Isode server products are deployed in a wide variety of situations,
and usually there is a high service reliance placed on them. Isode’s
approach to server design and management is that the products are
building blocks, with maximum use of open standard protocols for interconnection.
Management is almost entirely client/server. This combination of building
block + client/server means that the approach to operational management
needs to be considered as part of the overall system design. This
paper explains the approach Isode has taken and the options provided,
that can be used to build an operational system.
