Hi Neil, I was replying to John’s query about how to use a public key so the recipient of his emails from Apple Mail can confirm the message does actually come from him.
>> I seem to recall that it is possible to use public key encryption or >> something similar to make it harder for your emails to be spoofed. Is there >> anything like this that can be integrated into and used with Mail on the Mac? You are correct that S/MIME is going to be supported in iOS 5. With iOS 5, businesses have more reason than ever to allow iPhones on their enterprise and secure networks. The iOS 5 Mail app supports encrypted S/MIME email, which will be a godsend to the IT bods with lame comedy ties running your enterprise server at work. Apple will be able to broker more big corporate deals to get iPhones in the hands of thousands of employees.
