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.

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:

Just make sure to enable php_ldap extension before you move further.

// Uncomment following line from php.ini
extension=php_ldap.dll

Following code snippet could be used to authenticate and find out whether provided Username and Password belongs to valid Zimbra User or not by authenticating it with Zimbra's LDAP (Light-weight Directory Access Protocol) server. So this way if you want you can provide your intranet/business application users an ability to use their Zimbra (mail/collaboration system) password to be used as an optional way to authenticate themselves.

Zimbra Open Source Edition

At Meditab we are using Zimbra - open source as our mailing suite. We almost never felt 99% up-time unless there is a Internet down due to any ISP trouble.
