Supporting Open PGP as Encryption Alternative for S/MIME

[infrastruktur_snh]

Hallo,

in which case can u use an Cisco ESA for encrypting messages with an Open PGP Key? Is it possible to use the ESA as encrypting / decrypting gateway for PGP secured messages?

Best regards

Hello Infrastruktur_snh,

On version 9.0 and onwards, the ESA supports S/MIME Encryption and Decryption:

---

S/MIME Security Services AsyncOS for Email now allows organizations to communicate securely using S/MIME without requiring that all end-users possess their own certificates.

Organizations can handle message signing, encryption, verification, and decryption at the gateway level using certificates that identify the organization rather than the individual.

AsyncOS provides the following S/MIME security services:

• Sign, encrypt, or sign and encrypt messages using S/MIME

• Verify, decrypt, or decrypt and verify messages using S/MIME

---

Full compatibility of S/MIME encryption and decryption is available:

Hallo Matthew,

Thanks for your answer, but this was not the question. I don't ask for S/MIME, which was also written in ESA Guide.

I ask for PGP encryption and the possibility to use this as second encryption type. Not every Partner supports S/MIME, someone only use PGP for encrypting their mails.

Supports ESA the Open PGP Key encryption?
