For the case you made Tod, it is right on-track.

Subject: Re: Encrypted emails

I have a similar problem. I need to identify a secure solution which
numerous contractors can use to communcate with each other and with my org
on a project for the next 2 years.

Many contractors organizations don't support secure mail, or use yahoo (like
me!) and the admins wouldn't set up PKI in any reasonable time frame.

I'm looking for something like a shared single key encryption solution that
the vendors could all use.

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.

Thanks

John
