So what they're saying is that your PRIVATE key is stored on a server
somewhere on the Internet?!?!

According to the description, authentication is obtained using a directory
or a domain. If using a Microsoft domain for authentication is required,
then how is it that the receiver is NOT required to obtain/purchase the

"Krishnamurthy said only the sender of an encrypted e-mail needs to have
the company's software. The recipient can then automatically decode the
message while using Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, or even a BlackBerry
handheld."
