Native GroupWise Encryption

GroupWise employs proprietary encryption throughout your GroupWise system:

• Messages are encrypted when sent from the GroupWise client.
• Attachments to messages are encrypted.
• The complete contents of mailboxes (Online, Caching, and Remote, along with the mailbox archive) are encrypted.
• Mailbox passwords are encrypted.
• The GroupWise Address Book and all personal address books are encrypted.
• The complete contents of GroupWise databases (domain databases, post office databases, user databases, message databases, and so on, are encrypted.
• Documents stored in libraries are encrypted.
• All information passing between workstations and servers within your GroupWise system is encrypted at all times.
• GroupWise Messenger conversations are encrypted.

Your GroupWise system is very secure without employing addition security measures. However, additional security features can be added as needed. To enhance the security of users' messages, you can install a third-party security product so that users can employ personal certificates and S/MIME encryption of messages, as described in Personal Digital Certificates, Digital Signatures,
and S/MIME Encryption. To enhance the security of communication between the servers in your GroupWise system, you can obtain server certificates and enable SSL encryption, as described in Server Certificates and SSL Encryption.
