PowerTalk/PowerShare, Digital Signatures, & IP Gateways (5/95)


An AppleMail message can be signed using the RSA digital signature and sent to other users through PowerTalk or PowerShare with no problem. However, the same message sent through an IP Gateway and back into PowerTalk from the Internet loses its signature.

The digital signature information is included in the header of a file. This header information cannot be properly handled by external mail systems and is stripped when forwarded through a gateway.

A workaround is to send signed files as AppleMail enclosures.
