Re: yeah see
It cost $$ for the digital ID's.. Plus they have to be renewed every 12 months..
The things that gets me is that any company would not have the digital ID's for those employees that travel.. The cost seems very minimal..

If I was a Chinese company, I would be doing the same thing.. If you are stupid enough to sent important info through un-protected inet (non VPN), yet are smart enough to find out that Chinese companies are intercepting these emails, there is something seriously wrong imo...

Interesting, because I was able to set up an entire SMTP encryption infrastructure for my employer for free.
For starters, we use a private certificate authority that we manage. We generate our own server certificates. This allows AES256 encryption of SMTP traffic from remote employees and 128-bit encryption of their IMAP traffic, too. All for free (thank you OpenSSL).
We'd generate client S/MIME certificates, too, but with companies like Thawte around, why bother. With the free email certificates they furnish for free, you can send SMTP messages with encrypted message bodies that can be read by any other S/MIME capable mail client (and not have to worry about whether they have your CA's public key stored or not).

Free, unless you're looking the ability to verify your server certs outside of your user community. If your goal is simply to protect remote client connections, you don't need publicly verifiable certificates. Thus, you needn't incur the costs. |
