Secure Messaging - Entrust Best of Both Worlds? From Network Computing... One of the major issues in the migration from proprietary messaging protocols to SMTP/ MIME is the lack of security. For example, groupware systems such as Notes and Exchange offer internal message-encryption standards only for messages within the enterprise. Implementing an effective cross-platform secure messaging solution remains an elusive, and expensive, proposition. Although S/MIME offers an effective, interoperable solution, its weak link is PKI. Because it is merely a consumer of an external X.509 infrastructure, it is throttled by issues of key revocation, distribution and infrastructure management. But there is hope. Systems such as Entrust offer the best of both worlds via the interoperability of S/MIME. This solution delivers integrated PKI management, certificate revocation checking, trust management and key recovery, and simplified enrollment. But its use of S/MIME formatting makes it compatible with non-Entrust messaging clients (such as Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Outlook98 and Outlook Express). techweb.com
