Sleep Soundly by Encrypting Your Emails

by | 0 comments

In the digital world, the same ideas apply to email. To keep your email safe and secure, there is a device called encryption which helps to obfuscate each email’s content to everyone except its recipients, and makes sure it is delivered safely and intact.

Encrypting email is relatively easy with today’s software. Usually it involves the use of a public key and a private key. The public key is available to everyone, and if you want to send someone an email message you would use that person’s public key to encrypt that message. That person in turn would use his private key, to which only he has access, to decode that message.

Software such as the latest versions of Microsoft Outlook supports this feature, and even flags you if the recipient’s email software does not support encryption. Some systems take it a step further by allowing you to digitally sign your emails, so that other people can verify that it is you who actually sent the email and not someone else. This is especially important since hackers sometimes spoof or impersonate the identities of others to fool unsuspecting users.
