First, your users need certificates. You can buy these, or you can roll your own - read up on this.
Next, Have each user install their cert on their PC. The recipients' public keys need to be somewhere where outlook can see them. You can set up an Exchange KMS server and essentially put the certs in the E5.5 directory. Or, you can have your users create contacts for each user they want to send encrypted email to and add their public key to the contact. Have Outlook look at contacts BEFORE the GAL to resolve user IDs. This quickly gets ugly when dealing with more than one or two users. And gets really ugly when the contacts info gets out of sync with the directory... If you want to send/receive signed email via SMTP, there is an IMS setting that strips signatures from messages. This will need to be turned off (I can't remember if the default is on or off). Oh, and keep in mind OWA can't handle signed/encrypted email. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Ko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 12:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Outlook e-mail Encryption Hello! Can anyone give me advice on email encryption? I have been reading about Verisign product to secure emails, but I am wondering what other options are there. What kind of things you I should watch out for. What kind of obstacles you ran into to implement. And so on. Server: Exchange 5.5 Client: Outlook 2000 (Mixed with SP1 and SP2) Any advice will be greatly appreciated...
