Security Basics: Encrypted emails

Encrypted emails

Hi,

Looking at the potential deployment and solutions for
encrypted emails i had a few questions.

What do large organization do to ensure that email are
securely transfered with a partner/customer for
sensitive data ?

Using public/private keys seems like a whole lot of
problems...

- How do you exchange keys ? Manually ? This might be
ok for a couple of recipient but can you imagine
hundreds/thousunds at different companies...

- PKI, having to deal with the infrastructure could be
a nightmare.

- Employees learning curve....

Are companies using an encryption software that will
encrypt the messages/attachments and transmit the
password to decrypt by phone ?

I would like your comments/suggestions.

Thanks

John
