There are a couple of ways that this can be done, but they are not centralized. The first is to get a free personal certificate from Thawte for each computer and use Outlook to create S/MIME messages. The other is to use the PGP Freeware which also integrates with Outlook to secure messages. I think you'll find in your research that, at this point, it's very difficult to "idiot proof" encryption. The closest that I think you will find will be to use Outlook's built in features as mentioned above.
