How to encrypt your emails

An average email service doesn’t do much to protect your emails. In most cases, when you send out an email it is sent as a plain text via web with no encryption involved.

This means emails can easily be read by people who are not the designated recipients. Even a popular email service like Gmail doesn’t support encryption and therefore is prone to be intercepted.

It is important to protect your emails from being read by someone to avoid misuse of the sensitive information and data in the emails. Email encryption is one way of protecting and securing your emails from being accessed by someone who’s not an authorised recipient of the email. Encryption is a process of transforming a plain text email message into a cryptogram, which is a set of symbols making it look like a scrambled text, making it unreadable with out a key.

Encryption is done with the help of two keys – a Public Key and a Private Key. The Public key is used to encrypt the email message whereas private key is used to decrypt the email message.

This is how the encryption process works and makes email communication safe and secure:

• When you send a secure email message to someone, you use a public key to send the encrypted email but keep your private key secret.
• When someone sends you an email message, they use public key to send the encrypted email message, and you use your secret private key to decrypt the message.

There are various technological tools available to effectively encrypt an email and communicate with your peers with an added security and protection to your emails. These email encryption tools would work to automate the encryption process for you.

There are also some web based encrypted email services that allow users to send out encrypted emails. Mail1Click is one such email service which enables its users to send and receive encrypted email messages.
