FEATURE REQUEST: Allow Symantec Encryption Management Server to decrypt with one key

Products

• Encryption Management Server

Issue/Introduction

The Symantec Encryption Management Server (SEMS) includes the ability to create mail rules to encrypt to specific keys, rather than having to search for a specific key.  Doing so could be useful if it is necessary to encrypt to a specific key under certain circumstances.  It may be that the recipient domain requests a single key be used whenever sending encrypted emails to their domain, and using these mail rules makes this possible. 

The SEMS does not support decrypting incoming encrypted mails to a single domain key for the SEMS managed domain. The SEMS does not include a single key for the entire domain for encryption and decryption.
