Lotus Cross-Certification

[ullmic <ullmic6 () web de>]

Hi everybody,

we are using Lotus Notes as mail tool and we have a lot of contact to a
large external company that also uses Lotus Notes. My idea to secure the
e-mail communication between our two companies to a reasonable level
(without rolling out PGP or S/MIME-certificates) is to propose a
cross-certification of Lotus Notes certificates between our companies so
that we can at least use Notes encryption. We already have a good level
of trust with confidentiality agreements a.s.o. So in my eye it is only
a technical implementation of a given trust relationship. Has anybody on
this list experience with such a Notes-to-Notes cross-certification? Any
hints what to look out for, how to avoid typical mistakes?
