Need to send encrypted e-mail to cell phone (text message) using ASP and Exchange
I am working on an ASP form/script which will send internal e-mails within our company and also to company-issued cell phones. My form output is a single sentence summary of form data. My IT security team tells me that I need to send the e-mails out in an encrypted form.
QUESTIONS:
1. How do I encrypt an e-mail in ASP?
2. If I encrypt it, how will the cell phone be able to read the message? DOes it have enough smarts to decode an encrytped e-mail?
Sorry if I am asking stupid questions. I am learning as I go, and not getting much support from the IT folks here.
Please see my mail generation code below...
.......code to build message.....
set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configur ation")
with cdoConfig.Fields
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="IP.ADDR.OF.SERV ER"
.Item ("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25
.Update
end with
set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.M essage")
with myMail
set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From="address@company.com "
.Subject=subj
.To="recipent_phone_#@txt. att.net"
.TextBody=message
.Send
end with
......close variables, end script, redirect.........

I need to send a message. The phones I am sending to are 'dumb phones'. They can receive text messages, but are not web enabled...
Am I trying to do something that cannot be done?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You're best bet is to instead save the message(s) you want to a database. Then write some code that will show the message you want on a webpage that is secure and encrypted itself if it is that important (HTTPS) which phones can handle.
Then you would send an email with a link in it to all the phones and desktop users that has a link like (https://www.mysite.com/supersecretmessage.aspx?Code=39002rjfj2f029f and then they can easily authenticate via the website instead.
Best of luck to you!
