EXAM WARNING
The top ten items about e-mail security to remember for the Security+
exam are:
1. S/MIME looks to the headers to determine how data encryption
and digital certificates are to be handled.
2. S/MIME messages are encrypted using a symmetric cipher
(method of encrypting text), and a public-key algorithm is used
for key exchange and digital signatures.
3. PGP uses a combination of public and private keys to secure e-
mail.
