Penango - secure emails

Penango - secure emails

Penango is a successor to free Firefox extension Gmail S/MIME, which let's you send encrypted emails using Gmail, Google Apps mail and Zimbra. As Google Apps or Gmail is not HIPAA complaint though it is running over Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.

It comes as a Firefox, Maxthon and Internet Explorer extension.

Unlike Gmail S/MIME extension for Firefox, Penango is not going to be free but if you want to send signed emails (using email certificate) which are encrypted then I don't see any other alternates for Gmail or Google apps users.

See Penango's seamless integration with Gmail service, you can easily setup this for your Google apps email account too.

What all you need is download Penango extension for your browser and get free email certificate. That's it you'r ready to go. So far I am not sure about the licensing or pricing policies as Penango has not been publicly available so far.

Here I am providing you download information I have received while signing up for trial, you can either go and sign-up yourself or download Penango extension for your browser.

Download Penango from following location for your browser:

I would like to post one wired and interesting issue I faced before few days.

Recently I was deploying one of my project on client end. Basically it was a Web Application but unlike other setups they were going to use that by terminal access. Meaning that all Users of the Portal will be having unique login into their(client's) Windows Network Domain and users will be logging into the Portal by logging into the Server machine first with given Windows domain credentials and then to the Portal.

This setup seems to be easy and no worry as whole portal will be accessed via LOCALHOST only..! Looks odd for any web-application though but that was the requirement for the client (keeping their security concerns in mind).

I have been given Administrative User to login to the server machine and setup everything. I did setup and did my post implementation testing on the machine with my user. Everything seems to be working as expected and I gave green flag to my superior.

Later on I have been buzzed with 2 issues from the Client.

  1. Portal is not working in Internet Explorer at all.
  2. Users are not able to download files from my Portal.

I asked for login details they used for testing and which they were actually going to give to their Users.
