Hi Rich,
Thanks a lot.
In the remote access, it was surprised that an encrypted mail is unacquirable.
Is this the same specification regardless of the version of Domino?
Isn’t there how to acquire an encrypted mail with third party products etc.?
Is it Version specific?
How does decryption can be done using NCSO.jar?
Can you please give some remarks about this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Please do not open a new thread to ask the same questions that you already asked. It has only been two days!
Is this the same specification regardless of the version of Domino?
Yes. Domino encryption has worked more or less the same way for 20 years.
Isn’t there how to acquire an encrypted mail with third party products etc.?
No.
Is it Version specific?
No.
How does decryption can be done using NCSO.jar?
It cannot be done.
Can you please give some remarks about this issue.
Encryption and decryption are built into the Notes core DLLs (i.e., the Notes C API). The code in the core DLLs MUST have access to the user’s (sender or recipient’s) Notes ID file in order to do decryption, and it must be able to unlock the ID file, which requires the user’s password. When you use NCSO.jar, you are connecting to the core DLL’s through the DIIOP task on the Domino server. Although IBM has built a way for iNotes users to store their ID file in their mail database, and has built a way for the iNotes software running in the HTTP task to access those ID files and use the C API do the decryption, they have not exposed this capability through the DIIOP task.

Hi Rich,
Thanks a lot.
And Sorry for the Inconvenience.
New thread was opened by mistake and was not the intention.

You can’t. As Rich said, the remote calls do not use the Notes ID – they authenticate in much the same way as Domino web applications do (simple username/password). You would need to be using a local Notes/Domino install and Notes.jar in order to get access to the decryption key, and would need to be logged in as the user whose documents you are trying to read.
