I believe that as long as both parties are using S/MIME you can just exchange Certificates and put the other government agencies certificates in your trusted list in KMS. It still requires that you use Outlook and Contacts to hold their public key. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!!!!!!

Now, mind you. I'm not an expert in this field. That's why I'm turning to the people on this list for advice. With that said. -Since we have a requirement for secure messaging over the internet with other government agencies. We would have to get a third party CA to accomplish this. The other agencies that we would want to communicate with also would have to go through a third party as well to obtain a CA so we can transmit messages securely between one another? -Also, since we also have a requirement for us to have secure messaging internally. We already have a root CA in place within our organization. Setting up S/MIME internally isn't that hard. But if we already have this root CA in place and we needed to obtain a third party CA. How would we implement this third party CA into our already existing root CA? I'm sure if there is a way to do this. Are there any docs that describe how to accomplish this feat?

I'm trying to get an understanding on how this works in the real world. I've setup a test lab here at work. But that can only help me understand how to get things done internally. I'm looking at a braoder scope of allowing our messages to be secure while passing over the internet to other corporations etc. Can someone point me in the direction on what I need to read to understand this a little bit better I'd really appreciate it. Also, if anyone wants to contact me offline. I have a few questions that I'd like answered if you have time.
