The invention relates to the technical field of
network security, and discloses a mail data
encryption gateway, which comprises a
data scheduling bus which is respectively connected with a core
service module, a management subsystem, a domestic credential foundation platform, an expansion
service module, a national secret
password acceleration card, a
database and an HAL interface, and
user management, administrator management,
certificate management, service management, equipment management,
system management and
key management are also connected. The mail data
encryption method is applied to a mail data
encryption gateway and comprises the steps that a sender edits mail content and inputs a
mail address through a mail terminal A, and a mail reaches the mail data encryption gateway, is transmitted to a mail
server through a mail security gateway and is transmitted to a mail terminal B of a recipient in different forms according to the receiving and sending types of the mail. According to the invention, the national cryptographic
algorithm is adopted to meet the requirements of high-strength security and
policy compliance, and cross-enterprise and cross-boundary
secure transmission of mails inside is ensured through the technologies of data encryption and decryption, a
certificate system, transmission tunnel encryption and the like.
