Our Outlook add in contacts our server, validates the SENDER and RECIPIENTS, and creates a ONE OFF KEY.

Secure email

The ONE OFF KEY is used to encrypt the email and any attachments.

The email and any attachments are put in to a dotGmr file which is then attached to a standard email. This email has the same subject and sender-ID as the original and there is facility for the sender to add a comment or instruction.

When the email arrives at the other end

• if the recipient has never before received a PrivateMail, he must download our program to read encrypted emails.
• if the recipient has previously opened a dotGmr file, he will just need to click on the attachment.

This program contacts the server, and if the correct password is entered, downloads the ONE OFF KEY. The program uses this key to de-encrypt the email and attachments.

Document Integrity

The ONE OFF KEY is used to hash each of the email and any attachments. The server keeps records of the results of this hashing. At any subsequent time the sender or receiver can refer to the particular correspondence, choose the email or any attachment, hash a local document using the ONE OFF KEY and be told if the result is the same as the one determined at the time of sending. Thus both the sender and the receiver can discover if the document they have stored has been changed in any way from the document that was sent.

Has the recipient opened my mail ?

In order to open the dotGmr file and access the email and attachments, the recipient has to contact the server to obtain the ONE OFF KEY. We record when this is done. We make this information available to the sender via an enquiry with filters selected by the sender.
