Sennding secure email?
If I want to send an email with attachment (usually in Word, Excel or
Powerpoint) so that it is secure, and so that the attachment can only be opened by someone who knows the "password" that we agree upon, is there a way to do this? I wasn't familiar with an available option in Outlook, or any specific programs or coding that allow for this. Btw, can emails themselves be password protected so that the intended recipient has to enter an agreed upon password, just to read the content of the email (as well as access any attached files included)? If this is possible, than I wouldn't need to secure and password protect the attached file if the recipient can't even access the content of the email itself without a password. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Dan |

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Dan Have the recipient send you a digitally signed e-mail. That will include their public key from their e-mail cert. Anyone can use that public key to encrypt their e-mails but only the recipient has their private key to decrypt them. After getting a signed e-mail from the other party, save their contact info in your address book. That will save their public key in your address book. When you later want to send them an encrypted e-mail, use that contact record to address the e-mail to them and chose to encrypt your e-mail using their public key. Only that recipient has the private key to decrypt your e-mail encrypted using their public key. |
