Hello all,
I have been tasked with coming up with a cheap and effective digital signature solution for my company. After speaking with a few folks, it appears that PGP is the way to go. My problem is that I have never had to implement this before. So any hints, tips, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

(The basic system layout is a Linux network with Win2K clients.)

Thanks in advance,
Hobbes

in a Company it is very important, that data could be accessed in each case, may be a guy is spending his Vaccations and an urgent Email is coming in.

Therefore I reccomend to use the Business Version which allows you generate Group Keys.

Also Important is a reasonable Key administration. If a key is lost your data are very safe even from you.

I would recommend a policy of two-person- Security. One Person keeps a Backup of the keyrings, an other person the corresponding Passphrases.
