There are a couple of ways I have seen. 1). Key Exchange using PGP for example 2). SSL Based Mail Apps, Think hotmail/gmail but private using SSL There is no simple answer, but I highly recommend the use key exchange as it is probably the easiest to manage.

Hi, Looking at the potential deployment and solutions for encrypted emails i had a few questions. What do large organization do to ensure that email are securely transfered with a partner/customer for sensitive data ? Using public/private keys seems like a whole lot of problems... - How do you exchange keys ? Manually ? This might be ok for a couple of recipient but can you imagine hundreds/thousunds at different companies... - PKI, having to deal with the infrastructure could be a nightmare. - Employees learning curve.... Are companies using an encryption software that will encrypt the messages/attachments and transmit the password to decrypt by phone ? I would like your comments/suggestions.
