Re: Secure Email

["Clonts, Neal D. (HSC)" <Neal-Clonts () OUHSC EDU>]

We have compliance issues that we are trying to meet.  Are we looking
for the technical solution that will resolve all of our security issues
with e-mail? Probably not...  Some of the applications that we have
looked at are Sigaba, Zipcorp, Entrust and so on.  Right now we are more
interested in if anyone is using any type of product for secure email
not the technical specifications of what truly is secure e-mail.

"Secure e-mail" is a neat myth. I'm assuming you mean end-to-end
encryption via SMTPS for sending and IMAPS/POPS for receiving? Please
keep in mind that this does nothing for "securing" the mail during
storage, nor does it "secure" mail from "non-S" clients that use SMTP or
IMAP/POP, and transfer that allegedly secured e-mail over the wire(s) en
claire.

If you're referring to another mechanism, feel free to elaborate.
