GLOBALCERTS
INCORPORATED (E-MAIL ENCRYPTION):-
We also offer email security solution which is based around a
network appliance, the GlobalCerts SecureMail Gateway. This
appliance is installed on the enterprise network and is configured
to encrypt and decrypt email that goes out to or comes in from the
Internet. Automatic encryption and decryption is unique to the
SecureMail Gateway.
To perform its automatic encryption and decryption, a SecureMail
Gateway manages X.509 compatible public key certificates for each
email user. It stores both the public key and the private key
securely inside the appliance. The Gateway can be configured to
always encrypt outbound email, or to only encrypt it when sent by
selected users. If the recipient has an X.509 certificate that is
discoverable by the gateway, mail is always encrypted using the
public key in that certificate.
Even when the email recipients have no cryptography software and no
SecureMail Gateway of their own, they can receive secure email from
SecureMail Gateway users. Furthermore, the messages are protected by
the same high-quality public key cryptography that protects normal
encrypted email.
GlobalCerts has also made the SecureMail Gateway as unobtrusive as
possible. Users keep the same desktop email software they have
always used, their email addresses stay the same, and they continue
to use any groupware (such as Novell® GroupWise®, Microsoft®
Outlook, or Lotus Notes®) normally. The primary change they will
notice is the presence of cryptography summaries at the bottom of
email messages, indicating whether or not the message was encrypted
in transit.
