Receiving Encrypted Email
- Hello,
I have a friend that runs a business and runs Exchange Server 2003. When his accountant sends him email it is unencrypted, which concerns him. What solution exists that will enable the business owner to receive encrypted emails from his accountant? As the accountant does not run exchange server, I am unsure as to how to approach this problem.
Thank You

- Hi Cyber,
First of all, I think you should know how encrypted mail is implemented.
A sender encrypts his mail with his private key. And if the recipient want to open the encrypted mail, he need to get the sender's public key.
The recipient can get the sender's public key through import the sender's certificate manully . Or the sender sends a mail with his certificate and so on.
So I think you should ask a question in other Forum like windows XP for details.

- For personal use you need to get a certificate to sign/encrypt your e-mails. Thawte used to distribute free personal e-mail certificates for personal use:

This example shows howto install and use personal e-mail certificates uses Outlook:

There's also the option of using PGP:
