in reply to Re^3: Customer data encryption
in thread Customer data encryption

I'm still in two minds over this. Many corporate customers have limits on mail sizes and content. (e.g. Mail Marshal).

Your suggestion is worth considering though, one possibility would be to force the customer to transmit the data using SCP, which I personally feel is a perfectly legitimate solution. To be honest, I think it's the cool "we'll encrypt it for you" aspect that draws me to looking into this.

    Way cooler would be "we'll encrypt that for you and as an additional candy, you get secure mail." :-)

    Just use existing tools for standard tasks...
