Hello, I'm interested to find out if institutions are implementing policies/practices/services on using email with sensitive or confidential content. I'm thinking of staff working in HR, administration, financial, admissions, network operations, etc. who want to (or do) use email and need end-to-end security services to reduce exposure to forgery and information compromise. Services such as email authentication (digital signing via S/MIME or PGP) and/or encryption (S/MIME, encrypted archives, key storage). The issue comes up occasionally and people like me give the usual 'don't do it - it's not secure' line. I'd like to look at recommending products and/or providing the services required. Mike
You may want to pose this question on the HiEd-EmailAdmin list. The list exists to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of email administration in higher education. The list archives <http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/hied-emailadmin.html> are available to the public, however, you must subscribe to the list in order to post to the list. -- Paul Russell, Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame prussell () nd edu
