RE: [U2] OT: Email encryption [not-secure]
My employer uses Tumbleweed. Be careful on how you setup the triggers for securing e-mails. I have sent innocuous e-mails that our policies flagged as requiring security (including to this list, hence the not secure addition to the subject line!). Yet I can send an e-mail with the phrase the root password to the Solaris server is makemydaygeek and it would sail through... Not Tumbleweed's fault, it's the arcane policies we have setup...

Re: [U2] OT: Email encryption
If the csv files are being generated by UniBasic, the language has encryption functions. Outside of basic, check out GPG. (http:// www.gnupg.org/) -- Regards, Clif ~~~ W.

RE: [U2] OT: Email encryption
A Spectrum tech article would be nice. :) nudges Cliff I'd be interested in seeing your GPG mail implementation guidelines and perhaps a generic sample. I never got into GPG, but I've briefly thought about integrating it before.

RE: [U2] OT: Email encryption
What we need is something that the email recipient does not have to do anything with except for use a key or password to open. Some (probably 80%) of the recipients are not very technical (we're talking about health clubs, tanning salons, etc) and they have to be able to import the file(s) into whatever they are using. We would definitely be looking at a cheap solution as it isn't an every day thing. We have what we need to develop our own solution with just the .csv file but it would really not be cost effective. A piece of software that already exists under $100 for 2-4 licenses would be great as it would get the job done cheaper and faster.

RE: [U2] OT: Email encryption
Here is a snippet from the Outlook help on encryption. It looks like your back to the public key/private key setup which is unacceptable Encrypting an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 protects the privacy of the message by converting it from readable plaintext into ciphered (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the private key (private key: The secret key kept on the sender's computer that the sender uses to digitally sign messages to recipients and to decrypt (unlock) messages from recipients. Private keys should be password protected.) that matches the public key (public key: The key a sender gives to a recipient so that the recipient can verify the sender's signature and confirm that the message was not altered. Recipients also use the public key to encrypt (lock) e-mail messages to the sender.) used to encrypt the message can decipher the message.
