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 typeprivate 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 recipieint 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.

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.

Is there a way to display this type of encrypted attachment ?

this article does not directly answer your question but is adjacent to it:

HP Drive Encryption Software

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.

I 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,

Need 256 Bit AES Full Disk Encryption for a Mac. The other discussions regarding this issue are very old. Does anyone have any current advice regarding encryption software?

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.
http://www.datalocker.com/products/datalocker-dl3.html
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 
1) Call by OLE 
 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 
2) Call directly executable program 
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. 
Example: 
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_RUN' 
EXPORTING 
 COMMAND = 'NOTEPAD.EXE' 
 PARAMETER = 'c:\TEST.TXT'. 
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

•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.

Mail, Safari, Software Update fail to launch after last update.

After my last software update which included an update for Quicktime, iTunes and two other programs I ran Age Of Empires and left it running for a period of time.
The computer froze hard and I had to hold the power button in to restart it.
From that point I cannot get Safari, Mail, or Software Update to start. They launch, but about a second into the process they quit unexpectidly and will not re-open.
When I try to run Safari or Mail through the terminal it comes up with the following:
Last login: Sat Jul 14 13:51:39 on ttyp1
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari; exit
Segmentation fault
logout
[Process completed]
I cannot figure this out and don't know what the steps are that I should go through to fix this one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Miriam,
I read the selection in MacFixit and went through the steps that they suggested.
I even downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg and when I went to re-install it the program Installer quit unexpectedly in the same manner that Safari, Mail, and Software Update did.
I also noted that when I tried to start either Safari or Mail using the terminal (I don't have much expertise in this area) they stated that there was a segmentation fault
Here is what was on the terminal screen:
Last login: Tue Jul 17 12:28:25 on ttyp1
/Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
Segmentation fault
logout
[Process completed]
It seems that I can install other programs using Installer, but I cannot do the upgrade. Maybe I have the wrong file.
Thanks for the support so far.

How do I uninstall Credant encryption software?

I have Credant encryption software on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7 and new iMac 27 inch OS X 10.8, and would like to uninstall credant. It appears as a plug-in in System Preferences. Can anyone help with this? Thank you.

I have searched for the Credant app or an uninstaller on my hard drive, but have found nothing. This is as you might expect - the software is intended to prevent someone from de-encrypting the hard-drive or removing Credant. I have asked my IT folks to de-encrypt the hard drive and remove Credant, but they do not appear to be knowledgable about this - surprising, since they originally required installation of Credant on my computer.
I was hoping someone on this forum might have some experience with this. Otherwise, I will push IT to solve this problem. They or I may need to go to Credant for assistance.
Thanks.

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.

Mail, Safari, Software Update all quitting

Was previously having no problem with my Mac or any of these applications but since I installed SAFARI 3.1.1 THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS.
1. When i try to open safari immediately a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
2. On trying to open MSN a box appears telling me it has unexpectedly quit. No amount of retrying will open it.
3. When trying to open mail it will open for about 2 seconds, enough for me to see the mailboxes but when it tries to access and check for new mail it quits. Again no amount of retrying makes any difference.
I can check my .mac account using Firefox but what is really killing me here is that I cannot access my business pop account via mail.+ all the settings for my pop account are stored in an email, in mail, which I cannot open.
I have run Tech tool, Disk utility, checked file permissions, dumped the application preferences, reset the pram and all to no avail. Have Apple really messed up with this Safari update? Can it be causing problems in other applications which need to access servers over the internet as well? Really really need some help here. Why do I suspect Safari it is the only thing that has been installed on my machine for months apart from the recent firmware update.
Just have to add this now. Just tried opening "software update" and it quit as the others. Maddening!
Really really need some help here.
Thanks
Thanks

OK
so now Dictionary is quitting as well, same as the others. Does it connect to the internet or share any components with Safari or Mail (spell checking?). I desperation I tried searching with Sherlock. Guess what? It quits as it tries to open.
Also just tried to update my entourage. The installer wont work either. Quits like the others
The list of broken applications now is is.
Mail
Safari
Software Update
iweb
Garageband
iMovie
iPhoto
.mac preferences
Application installers
Dictionary
Sherlock
Microsoft update
MSN
I am tempted to go through all my applications (i checked a few!) and utilities and see how much of Apple's software is actually still working since I updated Safari.
This is desperate. Am I alone out there?

HP Drive Encryption Software (Winmagic)

Hi, I'm having a problem with the HP Drive Encryption Software. I had to reinstall my operating system, but I forgot the decrypt my hard drive before the reinstall. My HDD was split into 3 partitions, 1 was for the OS and the other 2 for data storage. Currently, after the reinstall, I can see the one with the OS, as it was formated during the reinstall, but as for the other 2, they are not available. Windows recognized those partitions as not formatted and when I click on them the OS says that before using the partition it needs to be formated. I was hoping that by installing the Drive Encryption Software it will be easy to recover those partitions, but apparently it wasn't. I have my old spare key stored on a external USB device, but when I was trying to recover following the guidelines I found in the Help section of the HP Client Security app (via the login screen after a restart) I run into an error. 0xa1 I believe. Is there any way to recover those partitions? I wouldnt want to format them and loose all my data. Pls advise. Thank you

Drive encryption software

We have a Windows server 2008 r2 domain and running 500 windows 7 machines. We are looking into a new drive encryption software. We currently use Novell ZenWorks Full Disk Encryption. We have had several issues with this IE blue screens when installing
the agent.
I would like to know of some other reputable options for disk encryption. It need to be centrally managed and 256 bit encryption.
Thanks
