Is there anyone out there who has used the VAX ENCRYPTION product and
might offer some comment on how good (bad) it is.

Our situation is a VAX 11/750 with a mix of faculty, staff and students
all using Email. There has been concern that students might get access
to sensitive messages or that a faculty member might see what a student
really thinks of her/him. We take all the normal precautions... file
protection, ACLs, ect. ... but were wondering if the ENCRYPTION product
might afford us more security. Or give us more headaches concerning
system performance and users forgetting the keys to their encrypted files.

Send any replies to:
(I will post a summary of replies if there is any interest)
