“Companies seeking a straightforward way to deliver secure
E-mail messages and attachments over the Internet may want to look
to Sendmail Inc. The provider of the Sendmail Internet Mail
platform, which drives most of the Internet’s mail servers, last
week debuted the Sendmail Secure Switch, routing software that
provides server-level encryption for E-mail transmissions.”
“The software automatically encrypts the Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol connection between trusted servers, so users no
longer have to exchange authentication keys to send secure messages
over the Net. The product supports the Internet Engineering
Task Force’s standard transport layer security to create a
dedicated certificate-based authentication channel between SMTP
mail servers.”
