Am hoping to start working with Piler soon so this is a very
interesting thread. How does the email encryption work ? Is there
anyway to ESCROW the encryption keys at all ? Thanks, Phil
during the archiving process the email (and its attachments) are
compressed with zlib, then encrypted using piler.key, and the iv
parameter in piler.conf. And then the encrypted result is written
to the store directory (/var/piler/store/00/...).
I'm not sure what you mean by escrowing the encryption key (please
elaborate the concept), anyway it must be present on the piler host
otherwise neither the storing nor the retrieving feature won't work.
So make sure you never lose piler.key, and the value of the iv
parameter.
