I've had this topic "resurrected" so I could share some findings of mine over the past year in regards to Trusted Email.

I've been following the progress of financial institutions and how they are handling their email. I figure if there is one user group out there that needs to continually maintain the integrity of its communications, its financial institutions.

I just read a white paper from the BITS Financial Services Roundtable. In that white paper much of what I discussed in this topic and others is being implemented along with some additional layers I'd not heard of before until now.

TLS - Transport Layer Security
DKIM - DomainKeys Identified Mail

I'm not going to go too far into depth in regards to the above. Here's a link to the white paper. I printed it and have read it multiple times. I'll read it again multiple times until I fully understand what they (financial services) are up to. :)

For those of you following this topic, are you, or do you plan to implement these types of security features within your email network?

I see an industry growing rapidly and that is third party email providers who have developed and established a Trusted Email network that allows them to guarantee delivery of your email. Anyone using this type of arrangement for their primary mail?

P.S. Another initialism to add to the mix...
