Implementing and Maintaining the Outlook Web Access S/MIME Control
Understanding How Exchange 2003 Supports Message Security provided an overview of the components that make up a Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003-based message security system: Exchange Server 2003, the e-mail client, and public key infrastructure (PKI).
