EndCryptor release history Release 2.3.7, January 26, 2012. A certificate can be used to sign initialization files. The certification path is stored for every received certificate and it can be compared to other paths. This may help in identifying fake certificates (like those used in SSL attacks). Release 2.3.6, December 1, 2011. A new feature – Contact Group – is introduced. This feature enables easy adding of many new contacts. If a group of people wants to enable that they all can communicate with everybody else in the group they should use the Contact Group feature. One person is chosen as an administrator for the group and he/she: 1. Compiles a list of the group. 2. Sends the list to members of the group. When the group members receive the list they process the list using EndCryptor which decides and checks to whom initialization files need to be sent. After all the group members have processed the list they all can communicate with each other. Later when new members join the group they are added on top of the group list and only they receive and process the list when joining the group. The group can be built and sent to its initial and new members using Tools->Manage Contact Groups.
The group administrator can send the list to its members either in plaintext form or in cryptotext form. Release 2.3.5, May 20, 2011. This is a maintenance release. Release 2.3.4, March 31, 2011. The Check for Updates feature is now available in Help menu. The downloader checks the Microsoft Authenticode signature after download. Release 2.3.3, March 22, 2011. This is a maintenance release. If Internet Explorer version 9 is installed on the machine then this release of EndCryptor must be used – otherwise e.g. the default font for new messages cannot be changed.

The exported .eml file is digitally signed to detect tampering. If EndCryptor is used for sending or receiving it stores the received certificates from the email server and provides the possibility to avoid or detect the so-called “compelled certificate creation attack”.
