---++ Major Assignments: Book Report & Term Paper
   * BookReport
   * TermPaper
---++ Small Assignment:Sending encrypted email with S/MIME
 Please follow these steps. 
   1 Get yourself a certificate. mozillaZine has a [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_an_SMIME_certificate][list of providers of free S/MIME certificates]]. I suggest you use one of the sources that offers more than a 30&ndash;60 day trial, and please do not use the source that called out as not being a built-in trusted source for Mozilla or Thunderbird.
   1 Install the certificate in the mail client of your choice (e.g., Thunderbird, Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail.app). 
      * Alternate method: You can try using the plugin for GMail webmail under Firefox. I've read conflicting things about whether it is working for the current version of Firefox (FF 4).
   1 Send a singed but not encrypted email to Prof. Sloan's UIC email address.
   1 Prof. Sloan will email right back to you with something signed and encrypted.
   1 Then send a encrypted (and signed) email to Prof. Sloan's UIC email address.
(The reason for the back and forth is that that way our email software will automagically acquire each other's keys.)<br /> -- Main.sloan - 2011-01-04
