Kryptronic Software Support Forum

Here are the times when the Kryptronic Central Server is contacted by the software:

(1) Installation (to register & install the software)
(2) Software Updates (to register & update the software)
(3) Upon each Management Interface login (to verify license info)
(4) Configuring UPS Online Tools connection (to get developer's key)
(5) Downloading server news in Management Interface (to get news)

These communications are done in a manner where if the Kryptronic Central Server is offline, operations continue as normal.

They are done via HTTP - however contain no personal or transaction data.  They are fine being transmitted over HTTP.

The communication system deployed is a one-way system.  The client (your install) requests info via XML over HTTP from our server which replies with an XML response.  The client validates itself with it's application URL and license key.  Once validated our server issues the proper response based on the client's request.  The communication stream is never prompted by (nor can it be prompted by) the server.  All outbound communication from the client to the server is handled within restricted namespaces and program regions.  Basically the system is deployed in such a way where there's no way to exploit it.

Having had an Internet outage that lasted for 3 days last week I can tell you that you'll still be able to get into admin but it'll take a while to time out.  I was able to continue to work off-line with no connectivity whatsoever.
