Email Encryption

Email Encryption gives organizations the ability to enforce email encryption right at the desktop, completely eliminating the possibility of confidential information being read by the IT department or by anyone other than the intended recipient.

  • Hostway’s end point solution enables users to digitally sign, encrypt and decrypt messages.
  • It can be implemented without an upfront investment in additional hardware or software.
  • With one click, you can manually encrypt emails, or rely on the predefined privacy policies set by IT administrators.
  • Confidential information is never exposed to the  IT department or potential hackers.

Powerful Administration:

  • Hostway’s policy-based managed encryption for Exchange enforces email encryption based on pre-defined policies and puts control in the hands of IT or compliance managers.
  • Hides encryption complexities from the end user ensuring ease of use.
  • Reporting feature enables IT to audit employee usage and make changes.

Always Accessible:

  • Encrypted emails can be read on all desktop and mobile devices.
  • If the recipient does not subscribe to Encrypted Mail, they can pick up their encrypted messages from a secure Web portal.
  • Outlook plugin also available: A sender simply composes an email as usual. Just before they are ready to "send" they choose "secure" and then send their email as normal.

Easy To Use:

  • Subscribers can use PKI-encrypted email without having to manage the exchange of public keys.
  • Subscribers can share encrypted messages with anyone who has an email address.
  • Reduce costs and lower administrative overhead through policy-based capabilities.
  • Deliver a seamless experience without interrupting your users’ email workflow.

Secure and Compliant:

  • Re-directs and prevents confidential email from being distributed to the wrong people. Encrypted messages are digitally signed and validated for compliance purposes.
  • Supports all industry standard encryption: Encrypted Mail Gateway supports third-party S/MIME or PGP credentials to accommodate automatic encryption/decryption of messages at the gateway.
  • Interoperable with other standards-based systems including Verisign, Entrust, Vontu, and IBM.
  • Uses the strongest commercially available cryptography known to the industry.
  • The suite of privacy applications and the Encryption Platform are built on the following industry accepted standards for digital signatures and encryption:
    • 1024 bit RSA End-user Keys
    • 2048 bit RSA CA Keys
    • SHA-1 hash
    • PKIX X.509 v3 certificates & CRLs
    • PKCS#10 certificate signing request
    • PKCS#12 key storage
    • 3DES and AES-256 symmetric encryption
    • S/MIME PKCS#7 encrypted e-mail format
    • HTML / XML, HTTP 1.1 / SSL
    • 2048 bit CA keys
    • CA Key Generation/Protection
    • CA Keys generated/stored on SafeNet LunaSA HSM
    • Keys signed by WebTrust certified Echoworx ROOT CA
