This thread should really be called "secure email" not "secure network" since the poster really only commented on email and the latter has all sorts of other implications. The more I learn about secure email the more I'm convinced we're going to have to try it a while before we can wring the bugs out. One can make a laundry list of features one might want, but I don't think there's a good basis for doing a cost/benefit tradeoff on the various alternatives. Until we've had some pilot systems fielded and get to 'kick the tires' for a while, the technical community isn't going to have the experience needed to make good engineering decisions.
