For a postgrad. research project I would like to investigate the use
of open source software for secure communication in a business
environment. I am using e.g. GnuPG myself, but I havn't seen the use
in a company yet and I would like to learn more about it.
I am facing two problems:
* I have to find a company which uses GnuPG or an other open source
solution for secure communication
* I have to find a scientific way to investigate and study this topic
Maybe you can help me with the first point.
The major problem is that both parties need to be using mail clients
that support this technology, and *TO HAVE SET IT UP*, even more so to
have correctly set it up! (points to sender (: ) As this requires
effort on everyones part to actually implement this, it just plain
doesn't work.
Using GnuPG: I know that is difficult when it comes to communication
between a company and a client. But at least for internal communication
-- members or two offices of a company -- it should be manageable...
An other option could at least be signing/verifying messages with X.509
certificates. This should be supported by the major mail clients out of
the box. I hope I didn't misunderstand you on this one ;)
We're looking at ways of simplifying this method, but, as most people
use Outlook/Express for mail communications, it's not going to be an
open source solution ):
What do you mean exactly with simplifying? And regarding Outlook...
well, I can't do anything else than telling the people to use
Thunderbird or an alternative client...
Thank you,
Raffael
