Securing E-Mails With S/MIME and Smartcards in Exchange 2003

Overview This paper will give a high level overview of the necessary steps to secure E-Mails with Outlook 2003 and Smartcards. The paper will explain how to implement secure e-mail messaging with Outlook 2003 and smartcards for the Exchange 2003 users. S/MIME deployment with smartcards and S/MIME Deployment via Soft Token (key and certificate stored on hard disk) are very similar. For both deployments certificates and keys will be used for e-mail encryption and e-mail signing. The main difference is where private keys are stored. If the person is using smartcards, the private key is stored on the smartcard and can only be accessed through the smartcard's PIN.
