Reading and sending IBM® Domino® encrypted
and signed mail messages can be performed from an Android device.
IBM Verse implements an encryption and decryption strategy that requires
server-side access to the user Notes® ID
file. The ID file contains the private and public keys necessary to
digitally sign, encrypt, and decrypt mail messages.Reading and sending IBM® Domino® encrypted and signed mail
messages can be performed from an Android device. See Table 1 for
a list of supported actions. Only Domino-encrypted mail is supported
on the IBM Verse client. Encrypted calendar, to-do, and notebook entries
are not supported. SMIME encryption is unavailable.
For digital signing, encrypting, or decrypting
to work, the Notes® ID file
must be uploaded to the mail file or the ID vault. See "How do I upload
my Notes® ID file?" .
Note: Only Domino®-encrypted mail is supported on the
IBM Verse client. Encrypted calendar, to-do, and notebook entries
are not supported. SMIME encryption is unavailable.
Note: Use either a secure socket layer (SSL) connection
or a virtual private network (VPN) solution when encryption is enabled
on the IBM Traveler server.
