Email Encryption and Signature with X.509 Certificates

Adding Security to Email Communication

Emails are like post cards. Everybody can read through them and change something on the way between sender and receiver. Encryption and digital signing creates a secure envelope around your emails. With traditional email encryption solutions, the certificate is stored on your harddisk - a potential target for eavesdroppers and intruders.

The CrypToken is a secure storage device for all your certificates and passwords. Your most confidential information is never exposed to the file system.

Encrypting and Signing with Public Key Methods

Asymmetric encryption enables tap-proofed emails and ensures senders identity and messages integrity. It is based on a pair of cryptographic keys, designated as public key and private key, which are related mathematically. The private key is generally kept secret, while the public key may be widely distributed. In a sense, one key "locks" the data; while the other is required to unlock it.

All major email applications, like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird offer easy to use functions to encrypt and/or sign emails.
