That is what is solved by PGP: The CEO types an e-mail, his *PC* encrypts it and sends it to the CFO. This encrypted text is stored in the DB, and transferred over the Internet and all other cables encrypted. Only on the PC of the CFO the e-mail will be decrypted. When she answers, it's again encrypted on her PC and decrypted on the PC of the CEO. All other occurences are encrypted. PGP is save, and has proven security over decades, and is pretty much standard stuff. Or, as Robert pointed out, S/MIME is mostly the same, supported by MS Outlook out of the box. I prefer PGP, ymmv. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0676/846 914 666 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
