IBM Verse does not currently support sending encrypted messages


Tags :


I found an IBM Verse technote on encryption interesting when I was investigating another issue:

IBM Verse does not currently support sending encrypted messages, though messages that were received encrypted can be read within Verse.  While all transactions between the web browser and IBM SmartCloud are transmitted over a secure network connection, the actual content of messages cannot be additionally encrypted by IBM Verse using S/MIME or Notes encryption.  This applies to both new messages composed within Verse and replies to messages that were encrypted when they were sent to the Verse user.

Messages that must be encrypted can be sent using either SmartCloud Notes or SmartCloud Notes web.

I am guessing this will come later but I never did consider this or see it part of any documentation as a limitation earlier.
