I thought IPSec was more for network security, not email.

I feel like I should know this, but I can't recall if IPSec is specifically for email. I hope it's not one of the other options!

I practiced a question like this before, and I think it was about email encryption. S/MIME sounds familiar, but I might be mixing it up with SSL.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about X.509 being related to certificates. Could that be S/MIME?

I'm a bit confused on the different partitions and which one would have the Employee-Number attribute. I'll need to review my AD DS knowledge to figure this out.

Sending a checklist to the information security staff seems like a good way to cover all the potential threats systematically. That's probably the safest bet for this type of assessment.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we covered extended data types in class, but I can't quite remember all the specific properties that can be modified. I'll have to think this through step-by-step.
