The Enterprise Vault Adapter for Secure Messaging and Rights Management removes the protection, or encryption, from email messages and attachments as they enter Enterprise Vault. Specifically, the Exchange Journal copy of a protected email message is decrypted by the Adapter.
Protection is also removed from supported documents and other email messages that are attached to protected email messages.
The Adapter stores certain parameters, or metadata, about the protection in the archive. You can later search the archive and tailor your query based on these parameters.
In addition to Microsoft Rights Management Services (RMS) and Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), the Enterprise Vault Adapter for Secure Messaging and Rights Management works with the following security services:
Liquid Machines Document Control: provides encryption and rights-management of documents. In addition, it extends RMS and AD RMS protection beyond Office 2003 and Office 2007 to Office XP and Office 2000, as well as to leading desktop and enterprise applications, such as Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Visio.
PGP: a point-to-point technology that enables senders to encrypt data to send to specific recipients. It is not a rights management system and does not use permissions. PGP provides for data confidentiality and integrity using encryption and digital signatures.
The Adapter can be configured to search the contents of Zip archives for protected data. The examination can include further recursion to any depth, in the case of a Zip archive within another Zip archive. Any protected file found inside a Zip archive is decompressed and unprotected. The result is recompressed and reinserted into a reconstituted form of the Zip archive.
Full documentation on how to install and configure the software is included with the software.
