[itdiscuss] encryption of emailed documents

[Phillips, Paul]

I know that there are expensive corporate solutions for this that cater
to high-profile and high-risk needs.  But in the context of most of the
people on this discussion board (churches and non-profits), I would
imagine that you are looking for an easy and inexpensive solution.  Two
things come to mind.  First, you could simply have your users Zip the
documents into a password protected zip file.  There's tons of free
solutions that provide for that.  And if you need higher degrees of
protection, you could look into PGP which handles the encrypting of
files as well as providing personal digital email certificates.

Subject: [itdiscuss] encryption of emailed documents

 

Has anyone done anything with encrypting documents sent via email?

We have been asked to research options.  I'd like to not re-invent the
wheel if at all possible.

 

Thanks in advance
