Secure Email Project

Above are screen captures of my Thunderbird inbox that I have received both signed and encrypted reply emails from Dr. Means.In this project I used Mozilla Thunderbird to create  singed and encrypted emails, it helps me to get a better understanding of the importance of secure email. I had a lot of fun of using Thunderbird and will continue using it in the future. It was pretty interesting experience.
http://www.bme.eu.com/article/Secure-email-today-extremely-beneficial-and-incredibly-convenient/ this is the link of the article that I have found online.According to the article, Stephanie Willemsen, the director partner of marketing and management of TC Trust Center wrote. Three main reasons to explain why secure email is  extremly beneficial and incredibly convenient for protecting data are business requirement-competitiveness, legal requirements-compliance,and customer trust-phishing. Stephanie mentioned in the article that competitive advantages can be gained with shorter time-to-market and faster reation in customer service. Therefore, E-mail communication enhances the fast approvals and short-term submissons of proposals. Only digital signatures provide the necessary non-repudiation and tamper protection for those critical transactions. The best reassurance for customers is a high-quality digital signature on E-mails. This protective measure is inexpensive, generates no extra effor for senders and recipients, is also forgery proof. Companies shouldnt wait any longer to use signing and encrypting emails to protect datas in order to keep pace with the society and be more competitive.
