Re: passing sensitive information over wire;options are not enough?

[Vedantam Sekhar <vedantamsekhar () gmail com>]

One solution i can think of is making use of PKI&Digital certificates.
It ensures the mail communictation is encrypted but also intended
recipents can only see it. But limitation with that is, you may not be
able to ask all your partners to go for PKI. Intranet, it will be ok
to install an private CA which assigns certificates to each of the
users in the LAN.

Hope this may help,

Thanks,

Sekhar
