How to set up a certificate server

Hi guys,

Our company has been required now to encrypt our e-mails and FTP
transmissions by the new HIPPA regulations. I've been researching a few
options like using PGP or MS Certificate server. I was wondering if some one
out there could provide with some information about setting this server up.
Currently we are running our own web server and may be we can use the same
server for this purpose. however, I do have another server running SUS and
may be used for this as well. In general, I have not had any experience with
certificates nor setting them up. If some one out there can provide some
advise it would be certainly appreciated...!

Thanks in advance,

Al.

You can start by reading this guide:

Although the guide is for Windows 2000 server some of it allpies to Windows
Server 2003 as well.
