Hi,
Is there any API that I could possibly use in my application that can encrypt emails that louts notes can decrypt. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance,
Ki

That depends on what you are trying to do.
In the generic Notes API there are plenty of provisions for encrypting stuff. The catch: you can only use this API if there is a Notes Client or Domino Server installed on the machine your application is running on.
There is no stand-alone API (other than the Java CORBA API, which requires a connection to a properly configured Domino Server to work).
The PKI infrstructure in Notes is not documented in detail, so other than using the Notes API there’s no way to encrypt mails targeted at Notes users.
Another option is to use a third-party plugin for the Notes client of the recipient (I think PGP can be integrated in Notes). This is definitely not an elegant solution.
cheers,
Bram

Without more detail on what you are doing it is a little difficult to provide much help. There is plenty on encryption/decryption in the Notes Designer help

notes supports a lot of standards. there’s not that much difference to e.g. how outlooks handles encryption - in fact it’s much better:)
