Secure e-mail

Secure e-mail is one of the most commonly used public-key-enabled applications because it allows users to share information confidentially and to trust that the authenticity of the information was maintained during transfer. This is achieved by the user-specific e-mail encryption and/or signing to prevent unauthorized persons from reading or changing your e-mails. Using this feature guarantees that only the e-mail creator and the specified recipients will be able to decrypt and read the message or validate the identity of the sender.
