What would be the best way to encrypt data from a 2003 server going to a XP
workstation? The data will be media related, probably MPEG with audio being
the primary data but it is important that the information contained within
can be encrypted to the opening workstation. The files are going to be
centrally managed on the server and not downloaded to the workstation to
control the versions but due to security within company this needs encryption
at server and decrypted at workstation. Thanks as always for your help!

PGP just came out with a new server toolkit that allows full encrypted
network communications on a windows server.

Assuming the workstation is XP Pro use ipsec. Just keep in mind that
implementing ipsec requires that domain controllers be exempt from using or
even attempting to use ipsec for any traffic ESP/AH between domain
controllers and domain workstations but that can be easily done by having a
rule with a permit filter action for all the IP addresses of all domain
controllers for all traffic. Ipsec filters can specify destination/source
IP, ports, and protocols so that you do not have to encrypt all traffic but
just that you specify. I would not suggest implementing ipsec at the domain
level but would put the servers [assuming not domain controllers] in an OU
with an ipsec require policy for the ports/protocols in question and then
move the workstations to an OU and implement a client/respond policy on a
GPO linked to that OU. The links below explain more on ipsec. Ipsec can
also be used on non domain computers but not using Kerberos for computer
authentication. In that case preshared key and certificate authentication
could be used with certificate being the preferred method as the pre shared
key is stored in the registry in clear text if that would be a concern
making it easier for someone on a non authorized computer being able to
possibly discover and use the pre shared key. --- Steve
