Since its acquisition in 2009 by GMX Caramail has evolved into a provider of e-mail. The service announced this day to become the first in its sector to launch an encryption service email (via PGP), to ensure the confidentiality of its data simply enough.
the use of technology PGP
relying on technology PGP (” Pretty Good Privacy “), the service has become possible with the encryption of his emails ” a few clicks “, as he announces, and for a better protection of personal data. Noting that the email, the fact that it is not encrypted by default, has in essence a ” level of security [...] as low as that of a postcard “, GMX by his offer Caramail is not a little proud to announce to be the first provider offering free encrypting emails end-to-end “.
A very simple setup
Compatible with most devices most frequently used, can be activated from a browser or directly from the application GMX, this encryption will give users an ” absolute control of their private conversations “. Of course, the entity has put in place a configuration wizard, designed to help users to grasp the concept of PGP, but also to accompany them to send their email encrypted. Simply install a plug-in on your browser for a private key and a public key are generated automatically, and you should be assigned specifically, and this will cause the e-mails addressed to an individual recipient will be encrypted with the public key of the recipient. Because of this, they can only be decrypted by this person using a private key secret. By transferring keys between the devices, the users can even save their private key on their smartphone to easily restore from one of their devices, even in the event of a loss. A solution in the era of time, even when she surfs on a clear intention of nostalgia ?
