Our end-to-end encrypted email service is the perfect solution for anyone who values privacy and security in their email communication. Our service is also HIPAA compliant, making it a great choice for healthcare professionals who need to protect sensitive patient information.
Encrypted emails require a key that can only be decrypted by the recipient. A digital signature is often used to validate that the message has been sent securely.
End-to-end encryption
Table of Contents
End-to-end encryption is an email security method that ensures the confidentiality of your data. It can protect your business’ sensitive information from hackers, spies and cybercriminals, so you can be confident that your data will remain private and safe.
To use end-to-end encrypted email, you’ll need to generate a public and private cryptographic key pair. The public key is widely disseminated and can be used to encrypt a message, while the private key is kept secret and can only be deciphered by the sender.
To make it easier to understand the benefits of end-to-end encryption, let’s say you’re a sender named Alice who wants to send an encrypted message to a recipient named Bob. To do this, Alice would encrypt the message using Bob’s public key on her device and then send it to Bob.
Sealed box public-key cryptography
Sealed box public-key cryptography is a variant of public key encryption where only the recipient’s public key is required to decrypt the message. This allows only the recipient to verify the integrity of the message, but not the sender’s identity.
Our sealed box public-key cryptography is based on open source components that are widely used and accepted in the security community. These include Curve25519, XSalsa20-Poly1305 and HMAC-SHA-512.
Package box uses these to encrypt and authenticate small messages. The nonce is computed and used during encryption and a tag that makes sure that the data hasn’t been tampered with is also computed.
Similarly, when sending email, we use a public key to encrypt metadata that is needed to retrieve an email from the recipient’s local drive. This enables the recipient to verify that the encrypted message is from their account. The public key is generated during account registration. It’s a good idea to make sure that the public key is published by a trusted authority so that other users don’t misuse it to spoof their account.
HIPAA compliance
Encrypted email is one of the most effective ways to ensure that your patient data remains secure. The Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) outlines a number of regulations that require organizations to safeguard PHI in a variety of ways.
When it comes to email, HIPAA requires that data be protected in transit and at rest. This includes making sure that the email server and email client are both configured to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
In addition to this, HIPAA also requires that there be adequate technical measures in place to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not gain access to PHI. These include implementing access controls and two-factor authentication.
The issue with email is that there are a lot of different services out there, and it can be difficult to find one that offers HIPAA compliance. However, there are a few options that have been specifically designed for this purpose. For example, Protected Trust is a service that allows users to store and send encrypted emails through a web portal or Microsoft Outlook.
Email encryption software
Email encryption is a type of security that allows you to encrypt your emails before sending them out. This protects your business and its confidential data from outside threats, including hackers.
This method of email encryption also helps prevent messages from being stolen and used by competitors. It is one of the best ways to ensure that your information is secure and can’t be accessed by anyone else.
A variety of software options are available for email encryption, but you should consider what features you need before choosing a solution. Ultimately, you want to choose a software that offers a high level of security and is compatible with the email providers you use.
The easiest way to get started is to use a service that combines all of the essential encryption features into a single package. This allows you to save money and avoid having to buy separate software or pay extra fees per user.
