[Rt-devel] Email Encryption

[Chuck Boeheim]

Our need is more for signing of items.  We would like to be able to sign 
certain
items with a PGP or S/MIME private key, and be able to verify both that the
email that goes out and the item in the database were signed by the correct
person and not altered since it was signed.    It's important to know that
certain approvals are not forged, or once issued are not altered to say 
something
different.
