You can ensure that outgoing data is encrypted by requiring the server to
use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to establish a secure connection channel with
a remote server.
To use SSL, create key pairs and configure key certificates. Clients can then use SSL to submit encrypted mail to Microsoft NNTP Service, which Microsoft NNTP Service decrypts. Microsoft NNTP Service can also use SSL to encrypt mail sent to remote servers. Key pairs consist of a number of bits that indicate the key's security level, or strength. You can strengthen security by increasing the encryption level from a 40-bit to a 128-bit default key strength. The greater the number of bits, the more difficult the item is to decode. Users attempting to secure access must use the same encryption level that you set. Due to export restrictions, the 128-bit key strength encryption feature is available only in the United States and Canada. |
