Email Encryption

 Comodo Email and Documents Signing SSL Certificates (CPAC)

---

Email encryption means encrypting, or disguising, the content of email messages in order to protect potentially sensitive data and information from being read by anyone other than intended recipients.
We all at some level have sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, login credentials, or bank account numbers, who need to encrypt their email. Hackers who gain unauthorized access to an email account can access attachments, content, and even hijack your entire email account. Email is a vulnerable medium, particularly when emails are sent over unsecured, or public, Wi-Fi networks. Even emails sent within a secure company network can be intercepted by other users, including your login credentials. Encryption renders the content of your emails unreadable as they travel from origin to destination, so even if someone intercepts your messages, they can’t interpret the content.Encrypting the connection prevents unauthorized users on the network from intercepting and capturing your login credentials and any email messages you send or receive as they leave your email provider’s server and travel from server to server around the Internet.

What Is E-mail Signing?

Unsecured mail is like sending an mail written in pencil. It can be altered, read and edited by anyone along the route to its destination. Encrypting and digitally signing your mail not only adds the highest levels of security but also helps businesses avoid accidental data exposure, breaches of privacy and non-compliance with data protection regulations.

• Digitally signing email authenticates you as the sender and means it is impossible for anyone to alter the contents without alerting your recipient.
• Encryption with up to 256 bit security guarantees privacy by ensuring only intended recipients can open your mail.

Personal Authentication Certificates provide true ‘end-to-end’ encryption between you and your contacts. Once it leaves your network, encrypted mail can never be intercepted and decrypted by man-in-the-middle attackers, packet-sniffers or https proxies.

Supported clients incude Microsft Outlook 2016/2013/2010/2007/2003, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, MAC OS X Mail, Apple Mail, Eudora, iOS, Android and more.

What Is Document Signing

Comodo Personal Authentication certificates let you easily sign company documents to identify yourself as the document signer and prove the document has not been tampered with since you signed it.

• Proves document integrity and identifies you as the document signer
• Helps businesses migrate from ink and paper based workflows on items like contracts, document sign-off, archiving and internal request forms
• Can be used in tandem with or to replace the visible signature feature in Microsoft^® Office products
• Ensures compliance with industry directives and policy frameworks which require digitally signed documents
• Supports major business software including Microsoft Office suite, Open Office Suite, VBA Macros and more

Condidered equal or superior to traditional wet signatures by many federal and governmental bodies, CPACs are a cost-effective means for any business to establish an efficient and secure paperless workflow.

Two-Factor Authentification

Comodo Personal Authentification certificate allows businesses reduce threat risks using bank-standard two-factor authentification of customers and employees.
We highly suggest CPAC for medium-large companies and enterprises to ensure the person accessing an online account successfully authenticated – and is not a hacker or attacker that try to steal a password or username. It is not enough to rely on passwords when you store sensitive and private information.
