    Email Encryption

    What is email encryption and why do you need it? In simple terms email encryption locks and scrambles your message so that no one can read it whilst it is in transit. Email is like a postcard. Anyone with the inclination or the tools to do so, can read it. What could this mean for you? It could mean data loss, identity theft or even worse.
     

    How does encryption work?

    SecureMail puts your email into a "tamper proof" envelope. Credit card numbers, banking information or confidential documents like contracts or test results, anything you want to keep private, can now be kept private. With SecureMail, you simply sign and lock your message digitally. It's as easy as pressing "Secure". There's no need to change your email address or change the way you send email now.

    Tiscali Secure Mail gives you the confidence that only you and your intended recipients are able to read your email, and that you know that the sender is not pretending to be someone else. It is a value added service that gives you the ability to send email with the confidence that the email is securely encrypted and that only the person that you addressed the email to can unlock it.

    Recipients benefit because the identity of the sender is also guaranteed. With Tiscali Secure Mail, everyone with an email address can send and receive encrypted digitally signed emails, without knowing the details of how it is done.
