PKI, PGP, X509, TLS : eMail confidentiality ?
Friday, November 16th, 2007 @ 12:49 am | eMail encryption
Hi everyone,
Probably a lot of your had to deal with organisations very sensible to eMail confidentiality. We must not forget that eMail travel “clear text” on the internet.
The experience I personally had was that most of the time, some of the mentioned methods required a lot of time to deploy, a lot of training, and finally companies were dropping those projects. Some companies are really forced to encrypt communication and will continue with actual technologies.
I was wondering what you think will become “the” standard as for eMail encryption/confidentiality methods

My opinion is, whatever which technology will be the best, encryption will be “stantard” as soon software publishiers (read Microsoft) will do a built-in encryption module in Outlook..(or something similar).
This would be a way to evolve without changing all the actual technology.

Before encryption, we need to increase the taekup of digital signatures - proof of the sender and no tampering ??
We are looking here to digitally sign ALL outgoing email.
