When you register a user, Lotus Domino can automatically create a Lotus Notes certificate, which contains the user's public keys, and add it to the ID file and the Lotus Domino Directory. You can use one set of Internet public and private keys or you can set up Lotus Notes to use a set of Internet keys for S/MIME signatures and SSL and another set for S/MIME encryption.įor information on dual Internet certificates, see the topic Dual Internet certificates for S/MIME encryption and signatures. For both Lotus Notes and Internet key pairs, electronic signatures are created with private keys and verified with public keys. Similarly, you use the Internet public key for S/MIME encryption and the Internet private key for S/MIME decryption. You use the Lotus Notes public key to encrypt fields, documents, databases, and messages sent to other Lotus Notes users, while the Lotus Notes private key is used for decryption.
Lotus Domino uses two types of public and private keys - Lotus Notes and Internet. The certificate containing the public key is also stored in the Lotus Domino Directory, where it is available to other users. Within the ID file, the public key is stored in a certificate, but the private key is stored separately from the certificate. The public and private keys are mathematically related and uniquely identify the user. Lotus Domino uses public and private keys so that data encrypted by one of the keys can be decrypted only by the other. įor information on field, document, and database encryption, see IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Designer 8 Help. Then only the specified users can read the information.įor information on SSL encryption, see the topic Setting up SSL on a Domino Server. Application developers can encrypt fields within a document, an entire document, and local databases. You can use SSL to encrypt information sent between an Internet client, such as a Lotus Notes client, and an Internet server, to prevent unauthorized users from reading the data while it is in transit. Encrypting information sent between a Lotus Notes workstation and a Lotus Domino server, or between two Lotus Domino servers, prevents unauthorized users from reading the data while it is in transit. You can also encrypt saved and incoming messages. Then an unauthorized user cannot read the message while it is in transit. Using IBM® Lotus® Notes® and IBM® Lotus® Domino™, you can encrypt: Encryption protects data from unauthorized access.
