Mail Encryption Algorithm

["Atherton, Cynthia" <ca...@harris.com>]

I'm trying to determine how James implements a specific encryption algorithm for email messages.

We currently use a MySQL database as our mail repository. The email content is encrypted in the database. Where is James do I specify the encryption algorithm?

Thanks,

Cindy Atherton

Hi Cindy,

We have support for content encryption in the JPA (database) mailbox. 
See MAILBOX-102 for details [1]

See also [2] which has a small sentence about this, but which doesn't 
explain the bits (see also persistence-template.xml [3] where the 
JPAEncryptedMessage is commented).

You will have to look at [4] to see how the encryption is achieved (done 
by via org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEByteEncryptor)

Thx, Eric
