Why You Need to Encrypt Your Emails

Why You Need to Encrypt Your Emails

In recent years there have been significant advances in decryption technology, which has made it alarmingly easy for government agencies, hackers, criminals, and snoopers to access and exploit your private emails for their own purposes. To combat this threat, messaging services such as ProtonMail have been developed to provide end-to-end encryption, ensuring your messages and attachments remain private and secure.

ProtonMail, a Swiss-based service, stores messages on encrypted servers, and transmits them in encrypted form to and from user devices. Messages sent between ProtonMail users are also encrypted within their secure server network, eliminating the risk of interception. Additionally, ProtonMail does not keep IP logs, providing further anonymity and protection for users.

Data is encrypted using a client-side encryption key, ensuring that even ProtonMail cannot access it. The service uses only secure implementations of AES, RSA, and OpenPGP, with open-source cryptographic libraries that have been thoroughly vetted by leading security experts.

ProtonMail is an essential tool for protecting sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including tax preparation and filing documents, healthcare records, credit card information, identity documents such as driver licenses and passports, business documents, and even whistleblower documents. Failure to use encryption to protect customer records can result in regulatory fines and civil litigation for businesses, while individuals can protect themselves from identity theft and cyber fraud.

ProtonMail is an effective and user-friendly solution for securely transmitting sensitive information, and comes highly recommended. Download it for free at the following location: https://protonmail.com
