Security in E-mail Traffic 3: LDAP Address Book
The LDAP address book (LDAP = Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a type of database or directory that an email application queries via a predefined path (server name, port, branch/search base) in order to find out the user certificate of an email address, for example. If such an LDAP address book is integrated into your own email application, encrypted emails can be sent directly, for example, provided the recipients have published their user certificate in the LDAP address book. Not every e-mail has to be sent encrypted, but you can select this option if you wish and after successful setup. Read more about the encryption of emails in part 2 of the blog series.
Security in E-mail Traffic 2: Encryption
It regularly happens that personal data or other sensitive information such as temporary passwords, application documents etc. need to be transmitted quickly. The choice often falls on the exchange by e-mail. However, this data must be protected against unauthorized access by third parties. In order to still be able to use e-mail, the e-mails must be encrypted. We will show you how this works in the following blog post, along with other relevant information on the subject.
