Today's focus:

CipherTrust tops encryption field

By Travis Berkley

Encrypting e-mail is easier than you might think. We discovered
this during a Clear Choice Test of six products that not only
bolt onto your current e-mail system but also provide new
features once you become encryption-savvy.

We cast a wide net to encryption vendors, and six accepted our
invitation (CipherTrust IronMail, Entrust Entelligence, PGP
Universal Series 500, PostX Secure E-mail, Tumbleweed MailGate
and ZipLip Secure Messaging Suite). Voltage Security, Sigaba,
Authentica and Zix declined. CenturionSoft's CenturionMail was
tested, but the desktop encryption system didn't fit our test
bed and methodology (see story ).

CipherTrust's IronMail wins the Clear Choice Award for solid
performance, administration and policy enforcement. While the
other five products tested are right on CipherTrust's heels,
IronMail offers the best all-around package. However, the other
products offer strong features and might be a better fit for
your environment.

* Getting off the ground

For the most part, the cost of encrypting e-mail isn't
prohibiting companies from deploying it - it's the complexity
that comes from managing encryption keys and certificates.
Trying to manage encryption at the desktop has often been
difficult. The products we tested let you manage encryption at
the gateway (aka policy-based gateway e-mail encryption). More
important, the products make encryption transparent to end
users.

While we used Exchange Server 2003, these products can be used
with any e-mail system that uses SMTP . Outgoing e-mail is sent
to a gateway server for processing. With inbound mail, the
products process the mail first, decrypting if needed, and then
forwarding results to the current e-mail system.
