VeriSign offers such a solution through its Go Secure solution I'm looking for solution that are easy to deploy from clients perspective (a) Anyone already using GOSecure, and any comments about it (if this is allowed on the list..) (b) Any other products that you are using out there (commercial or freeware)
For email encryption, there's **ALWAYS** PGP ( http://www.pgp.com ) , and for the open-source adovcate out there, GNU Privacy Guard ( http://www.gnupg.org/ ): both work purely at the client end.
(c) Any security flaws in using solutions for mail encyption
As always, insufficient key length, insecure algorithm, or hackable passphrase/password.
Thanks P.S. I;m using Exchange server 5.5 currently, will migrate to Exchange 2000 soon...
You might want to consider Exchange 2003 instead: it offers encryption at the server level. I'm not sure if you need the Outlook 2003 client to make the encryption seamless or not. . . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
