PGP also offers an ADK - Additional Decryption Key, which can also be split, so that one individual doesn't have the sole power to decrypt. The ADK enables encrypted data, emails or othewise to be decrypted. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Kenton Smith Sent: 01 November 2006 21:21 To: lyal.collins () key2it com au; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Re: Enterprise Level Email Encryption That has got to be one of the worst shameless plugs I've seen in a while. Instead of spreading untruths about other products why not just tell us why yours is better? The corporate versions of PGP have full control over keys so that you can add/remove/revoke etc. There are also PKI services that will give you the same kind of capabilities with S/MIME. If I was the person asking for help I'd be sure to strike your company off the list. Kenton P.S. Oh yeah, "Why would you install software in a company that breaks laws, and cripples the company, legally?" I can't think of anyone who would want to do this. If that's your gimmick you might find that calling your potential customers stupid doesn't work so well. ----- Original Message ---- From: "lyal.collins () key2it com au" <lyal.collins () key2it com au> To: security-basics () securityfocus com Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 1:27:15 PM Subject: Re: Re: Enterprise Level Email Encryption Why would you install software in a company that breaks laws, and cripples the company, legally? S/MIME and PGP lock company data into the hands of individuals - definitely bad news! Voltage isn't much better. Problems occur when staff leave but don't unlock their data, password/key changes means older emails are not accessible anymore and blackmail opportunities et al are created by using such software. Consider Key2Mail instead - provided the requested functionality, and allows the company to meet the law. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
