Using encryption and digital signatures in Mail

Email is one of the oldest Internet technologies, designed and put to use at a time when the Internet was still a safe and friendly place. This is no longer the case, but many email servers still allow anyone on the Internet to access their services to send "spam" email, and many of us still send our account passwords and email messages in clear text over the wire.

The version of Mail that ships with Mac OS X 10.3 gained the ability to sign and encrypt email messages. This is great news, because it allows us to verify the identity of the sender of a received email message, to verify that the message has not been tampered with in transit and finally to send encrypted email messages - in other words the ability to put an envelope and a seal on our email messages.

You have been able to do this on Mozilla for years. All of the software is in the public domain.

This is not news on the Apple platform either, but this is some sort of integration product for the Apple "Mail" app in OS X??
