Email encryption software recommendations?
What email encryption software would you recommend for personal use?
Any of the apps offered in the App Store?
Thanks!
Go to InstantSSL and request a free S/MIME signing certificate. It's valid for a year, only for the address you specify. You'll be prompted to set a revocation password, which you'll need if you ever want to stop the key from being trusted. I suggest you save the password as a secure note item in the keychain.
Click the link in the message you'll receive at that address. A file named "CollectCCC.p7s" will be downloaded in your web browser. Double-click the file. It will open in Keychain Access. Confirm that you want to import the keys it contains.
Two items will be added to the keychain you specify. Both are named "Key from secure.instantssl.com". One is of type private key and one is of type public key. You'll want to delete those items when the key expires or is revoked.
Quit and relaunch Mail. When you next compose a message from the certified address, you'll have the option to sign it.
The first time you sign a message with the new certificate, you'll be prompted to allow Mail to use it in the keychain. Click Always Allow.
Important:
You must quit and relaunch Mail before the certficiate will be recognized.
Mail that is only signed is not encrypted; anyone can read it. The recipient can be reasonably sure that it came unaltered from a person who receives mail at the sender's address. That is not proof of the sender's identity.
To encrypt messages, the recipient must already have gone through a similar setup process, and you must know his or her public key. The key can be sent to you in the clear, attached to a signed message, but again, you have no proof of the sender's identity. All you know is that he can receive mail at the specified address.

I have attached the email encryption software that I am interested in. Can I deploy this for my small business because I deal with highly confidential email transmissions? Does anyone have any idea of the cost. Apparently the company Ironport had this service, then Cisco bought it out and has transformed it somewhat. I like it because I will be able to use it with my business GMAIL. Does anyone have any experience with this software, please tell me what you like/don't like. I just need to insure that my transmissions are free/clear of any hacking. Thanks.
The IEA (Ironport Encryption Appliance) is no longer sold. You would need to buy the feature keys/license for you ESA (Email Security Appliance) for CRES (Cisco Registered Envelope Service), which does similar to the IEA.

You would need to speak w/ a reseller or Account/Sales team in order to get the appropriate information.

I am helping a friend setup their new laptop, but cannot find any information on what's needed to setup the Drive and Email Encryption software, only the basic information on the "product info" sheet I saw when they decided to buy this model.
Is there a manual for HP ProtectTools, so i can really familiarise myself with all of the various features - including fingerprint recognition and the protection of USB memory keys (which I've already had to work out how to turn off because it was interfering with their use of drives too much.
If I could read the guide, perhaps I could understand how to configure the protection to work the way they'd like it. If you can help me find this, I'd be very grateful.
Julia EvansI am sure that is not a surprising answer, have you thought about Bitlocker http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/bitlocker
- you need Win 7 Ultimate or Enterprise
- works great with TPM (without TPM look in Win 8)
- manage it with in AD (with an Enterprise Agreement you can do MBAM)
- add some scripts (WMI) for reporting
- configure GPOs so that all recovery keys are stored centrally and make seperate backups of all recovery info in AD just in case the machine account gets deleted and recreated and you need after 2years the recovery key
My experience with 3rd parties are not good either, regardless who it was.
Hope that helps,

Can anyone recommend any animated email alert software
Hi.
Is there any animated email alert software for the iMac that can be downloaded, easily configured and not too expensive?
Regards
RicharsUnlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.

Encryption software for Mac book
I need to send a few Word Documents via email and I was told to encrypt them. Can anyone recommend an encryption software that can do this?
When you ZIP a file and password protect it, the archiver encrypts the files. On the receiving end, they'll be prompted for the password. The password acts as the decryption key.
In Terminal, you can use zip to fulfill the requirements. Here's an example:
Gaia:~ trane$ zip -9 -e myfile.zip myfile myfile1
Enter password:
Verify password:
adding: myfile (stored 0%)
adding: myfile1 (stored 0%)
In this example, the zip utility is set to maximum compression (-9) and encryption (-e) to create the zip archive called myfile.zip, adding two files (myfile and myfile1) to the archive. It asks for the encryption password twice and then creates the archive.
As a note about security, it's a good idea to send the password for the archive in a separate e-mail; otherwise, encrypting the files has no meaning at all. -
Email Encryption Small Business Server 2008
We have are running Small Business Server 2008 with Exchange 2007. Our firm needs to have a look at email encryption. This is a relatively new concept that we are dealing with, we are a bit confused with how it works.
Can the email encryption be set up on the SBS server? Or do we need to get 3rd party software installed onto the server?
The emails need to be encrypted that go out of the office, our clients have a variety of email programs that they use.Hi,
By using the TLS protocol, you can help improve the security of SMTP communication in Exchange 2007. Please
refer to following article and check if can help you.

•Best External Drive Encryption Software????
Hi,
I need to find a good external firewire drive encryption software, any recommendations? I have gigs of legal files that must be encrypted but with a VERY stable program.
Thanks,Disk Utility makes AES-256 images which can be put on external hard drives. Of course the power of encryption also depends on the quality of your password. If you use anything that might be found in any language in the password, that won't work. Mixing numbers and letters without vowels is the best way to construct passwords. Mixing cases helps too.

Premier and Company Encryption Software
Hi, all.
I have attached to my work computer an external 320GB hard drive which I use for capturing and storing digital video. The drive has never been removed and is not intended to be used as portable media.
My company has recently installed software on all of our computers that requires any data sent to removable media to be encrypted in a way that can only be read by computers with this same software installed. This is to protect sensitive client information, which is completely reasonable and understandable. Unfortunately, since this new encryption software was installed, I have been unable to create new folders on this hard drive and Premier will not allow it to be designated as a scratch disc, telling me that I do not have access permissions. I also cannot save any projects opened from this disc back onto it.
If I unplug the drive and reattach it, I am prompted by the encryption software "wizard" to convert the drive into encrypted format. I am hesitant to do this, since I don't understand how it will affect the files currently on the drive or how the drive's performance will be affected afterward. I also fear that the encryption process might hinder the ability of my software to read from and write to it on the fly. The issue may be complicated further if the encryption process slows down the transfer rate, but that remains to be seen.
I have sent a ticket to the IT department to let them know of my concerns, but I wanted to get some input from other Adobe users before I have them do anything irreversible. Based on your experience, does anyone think Premier and After Effects will go batty if the video data has to be encrypted and unencrypted as it goes to and from the hard disc? Anyone else working in a secure environment who could share their experience with this kind of thing? The IT department doesn't know anything about video and I can't rely on them to know how this will affect my rig. Any insight or advice to share before they come a-knockin'?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!The simple fact that the drive "is" removable, whether you use it that way or not, is going to be problematic.
I would highly suggest you "social engineer" the following with the IT dep't:
Have them install an internal media drive (or 4 - see various configuration recommendation threads on this forum) without encryption software. If you are not working with client's excel spreadsheets or word documents, just video that will eventually be distributed in some format anyway, (e.g., it will have a presence outside the network computers even if it is still internal), then you can make a better case for being opted out of the encryption requirement.
As a compromise, ask them to make the NLE computer's USB ports inactive except for printing. This will help satisfy the security requirements they are trying to implement. Remember, it is probably not their idea to do all this. Whatever you can do to make it difficult or impossible for data to be removed from this computer will increase your chances of making a compelling argument against encryption.
Make the IT department responsible for creating a backup of all your unencrypted media before anything else - even if they have to uninstall the encryption software, make the backup and then reinstall it. Keep this backup separate and unencrypted until the dust has settled.
If they absolutely refuse to let you be exempted, find the video "wannabe" in the IT department and involve him in the process of making the NLE software work with the encryption software. Perhaps when he gives up you'll finally be able to do without. Or, maybe, it will be working properly.
Either way, sit back and wait for the howls of dismay when suddenly some critical files in another department are no longer accessible because of a conflict between the encryption and the some security update. -
Meet the Non-email Encrypted Mail System: The Swiftcoin Telegram
I have been looking for an email encryption tool to use on my new Z10. I came a cross an article that describes exactly what I need; the Swiftcoin non-email encryption tool but I am having trouble running it on my phone and yet it is supposed to work on any phone that uses S/MIME encryption/decryption for email. Are there any additioanal settings / details I need to get from software designer or from service providers for this to work or is there anyone who has used a similar tool successfully who can help?
Hi Bitterephe34,
I personally like this Swiftcoin. If you really have something that you want to hide from the NSA then Swiftcoin is your best bet or Use GPG (free) with a really big key. -
Catalog Publishing Software Recommendations Anyone :)
Hello,
I would love to get some catalog publishing software recommendations besides Easy Catalog (currently using Easy Catalog and looking to get away from it) that are user friendly with InDesign?
We are looking to streamline our process and hopefully use a datapull that we produce into an excel document. Our catalogs are generally printed and anywhere from 80-130 pages each.
If you need more info for recommendations please let me know.
Thank you all!
- KellyKim,
I have not seen any custom demonstrations by them, im always learing of having to "sign up" for things online in order to get demonstrations, ive been bombarded with tons of junk email before by doing this. Since you have used this program can you tell me if i can have my data pulled from an excel document in order to use this program? Basically our information is entered into a specific program that was written for our business. In the past we have had to extract data from this program, run it through yet another program and then convert it to excel document... Hey at least we are able to work with it... lol Trying to find an easier way -
Will someone please help me?
My files, photos, email files, software programs, calendar info, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt Lion). How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?
My email did transfer over.
Thank you.First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it. If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade? Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
Recommendation:
1, increase SMS and MMS module
2, the SMS and MMS module to connect to the BlackBerry via BluetoothWhile I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

Does anyone have any advice regarding 256 bit full disk encryption software for Macs? The other discussions on the topic are years old, so I would like some current input. Thanks for your help in advance.
Depending on your Mac, you might not want to upgrade to OS X 10.7 or 10.8 as it will not run the PowerPC based software your currently using costing a bundle to replace it all, also they will slow down your machine if it's not a more recent issue. You don't want to upgrade OS X without AppleCare defending your possibly bricked logicboard that's for sure.
Filevault encrypts the boot drive, however in doing so makes it near impossible to fix if you have a software issue and need to recover files directly or by using specialty software. Also it robs the machine of performance even more than the Lions do. So you will really need a SSD to work best with 10.7/10.8 and Filevault, then it has to be freshly installed. Filevault needs 50% free space on the boot drive, then it's going to write to the slower 50% half of the hard drive where performance is terrible compared to the first 50%.
Also Filevault is cracked under certain conditions, and if someone gets their hands on the machine (like the law) and knows what they are doing.
If you take your Filevaulted machine to Apple to fix, they are going to require the password to fix the machine obviously.
Software based encryption is vulnerable, you might want to instead place your sensitive data on external self-encrypting hardware that doesn't rely upon software or computer hacks/bypasses (ike freezing the RAM) to get to it.

Iron Keys for portable USB self encryption, both work with any computer, so your not locked into one platform.
With the senstive data off the computer and on a external device, there is the option of removing, hiding and securing the device. If used with a computer that's never connected to the Internet, it's safe from snoopers, except from a survelliance van parked outside your door. -
Call Encryption Software from SAP
There is an encryption software installed in the user's PC.
Some files are being downloaded in to the user's PC from SAP using a report.
Is it possible to call this encryption software in the user's PC to encrypt all the downloaded files from SAP ?Hi,
Yes, there are many ways to call the executable program <br>
1) Call by OLE <br>
You can call by OLE technique only if your encryption program provides OLE objects to be exposed for other applications. For example, call Excel or Word OLE objects from ABAP. You can search on SAP for OLE demonstration<br>
2) Call directly executable program <br>
You can call executable program in your front end station from your abap source code by using fct. module GUI_RUN . This call works only in foreground since the executable program is in your front end station and you have to know the parameters that your external program can accept (ie. you have to read your encryption manual).If you do not know the parameters to be sent to you encryption program then you coud crate a batch file in Windows and run the batch file from ABAP. <br>
Example:<br>
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_RUN'<br>
EXPORTING<br>
COMMAND = 'NOTEPAD.EXE'<br>
PARAMETER = 'c:\TEST.TXT'.<br>
3) Call by DDE (Data dynamic Exchange)
This one, I forget how to do this since done about 5 years ago, Return to you later if you really need this technique -
Possible to determine who can use Email Encryption?
We are looking to license the Email encryption feature on Ironport. When our reseller asked how many licenses they mentioned that instead of licensing all my users I can license a subset of users, say a department.
We would like to only license a subset of users to be able to use the email encryption. Is this possible to license just a subset of users? If so, how do I go about setting up the licensing for just specific users?
Thank you in advance.
JoeHey Joe,
This may not be 100% accurate to your requirements.
But.
The Encryption Key once purchased, added to your device.
You can restrict which users will be able to send out encrypted email through the use of Filters/Content Filters/Policies.
In essence, you can allow a subset of users to be able to send encrypted envelope emails outbound, while other users will only be able to send emails as per normal plain text (or under TLS if you've have that enabled).
Maybe you are looking for
