Not a clue. Why don't you email their development team and ask?
Yeah ask them.
If you are not suppose to know then they won't revela anything. Otherwise, don't try to know. ;)
none, everything is stored in plain text. they dont log IP addresses either. so just run a brute force attack agaisnt the server and use every possible cominations of characters they support. Dont bother tryingt o mask your ip or anything, becasue yahoo doesnt care. <bfeg>
Yep, if they are still using "ZixIt" and PKI (public key infrastructure) you can download the whitepaper Here:
cheers

Ah, don't let them get to you man. Here's a quick rundown....
They use a tripleBS scheme with rotating FU salts. I found the following on alt.2600 that should help HERE
I guess they use MD5. You can check it signing in and watching the address bar. ;)
