Recommendations on encryption suites? twhite68 06-27-2005

I have been asked to provide an encryption solution for 2 small
companies. I don't yet have a complete set of requirements, but here
are the requirements I've thought of so far:


Must conform to existing public-key encryption standards


Must be exceptionally easy for users to use (i.e., nearly
transparent)


Must integrate with Outlook (would be nice to integrate with Outlook

Web Access as well)


Must support file-based encryption / decryption


Must support some method for sending secure messages to people who
do not have any encrypt / decrypt software


----


I'm currently looking at PGP Universal 200 series software. It looks
good so far. Does anyone have any other suggestions, either for
requirements I should includ or for software I should review?


TIA


Tony

Although I haven't used the latest versions, previous version of PGP have been
fine, although they require a certain amount of understanding of PK encryption
to use. I assume that the "Universal" version is one that includes a decoder
with whatever attachment you are sending.

Outlook has PK encryption built right in - all you need is a certificate
(similar to PGP public/private key pair) to use it, and it does attachments
automatically as well as signatures. When activated, there are a couple of
little buttons inthe Outlook message toolbar: one for signing and one for
encrypting.

Verisign charges for certs, but there is at least one company that will issue
email only certs for free (sorry - can't recall who). You could also get the
code to generate your own if you really wanted.
