I think S/MIME is a good technology. There is a good white paper at microsoft.com/exchange/library on Email Security that covers S/MIME in detail. However, you can't spend a better $35 than running to your local bookstore and picking up Paul Robichaux's Secure Messaging with Exchange Server 2003. It tells you everything you need to know and how to do it.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McCready, Robert Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 2:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: S /MIME We are thinking of implementing S /MIME for a few of our users. We are running Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2002/2003 on the client. I'm not sure I have a complete grasp on encryption, digital signatures and digital certificates. Any schooling that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. We want to use encryption for 10 users in our company to be able to send classified email to 10 users outside the company (different ISP's such as AOL, Road Runner etc). From what I've been reading, you can setup your own digital signatures in Active Directory. 1. I'm assuming local signatures in Active Directory would only be good for internal communication, nothing leaving the company? 2. Would I need to get Digital Certificates from somewhere like VeriSign to allow communication between different companies? 3. If Verisign is the way to go, would the users themselves (from AOL for example), be able to set things up from their end, or would further AOL support be needed? 4. Anybody have a general idea of how much digital certificates run individually from Verisign? 5. Is S /MIME what I should be considering, or something else? Thanks.
