Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a delivery manager comprises an interface and processing circuitry. The interface is configured to receive a certificate that a Domain Name Service (DNS) associates with a DNS name of a recipient system. The processing circuitry is configured to distribute the certificate to a plurality of sending systems. Each sending system is configured to store the certificate in a local memory of the sending system, use the certificate from the local memory of the sending system to perform encryption in response to a future determination to send an encrypted message to the recipient system, and send the encrypted message directly to the recipient system.
