Anonymous and encrypted sending emails in Internet
The e-mail has replaced the letter out of paper already largely. While wanting to be pretty safe with a letter, can not read along that strangers, regular e-mails are anything but private. We say you can do to protect their e-mail communication to others are reading.
Usually one does not want that someone other than the recipient can read an e-mail them. Normal e-mails are not, however, protected against eavesdropping. In order to read the foreign mails can not, however, they can be relatively easy to encrypt. We call two ways to protect against one’s own mail spying.
1st E-mails in MS Outlook and Thunderbird encrypt
A simple way to encrypt messages is to the benefit of an S / MINE certificate. The first of these is a type of electronic signature, which confirms the sender’s identity and, second, the second part of a pair of electronic keys. Only two keys together, an e-mail read. The communication partner sends you a public with his () key signed mail. This puts the receiver in a position to send mails with this key. The second key to decrypt the e-mails you only know yourself what this prevents eavesdropping by third parties.
Genuine and very secure certificates are quite expensive and it is relatively cumbersome to get some. Quite as much security you need usually is not. Then extends a free certificate that you can get to easily. Thus a free certificate to get comodo.com example, where, under “Home & Home Office” is in the “Free Products” the link “Free email Certificate.
With many e-mail programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Windows Mail and Live Mail, such S / MINE certificates are used. To do this, install the S / MINE certificate. How this works varies from program to program. The steps are provided in Guidance for the corresponding e-mail software. At the very widely used Microsoft Outlook can be found under “Tools” -> “Trust Center” -> “Mail Settings” button “Import / Export. There shall be a password. Before sending an email in the future you click the “Sign”.
2nd e-mails with free web mailers encrypt
Many users do not use e-mail program like Outlook, but a webmail. Unfortunately, the encryption of messages is not yet a standard range of providers of free e-mail mailboxes. An exception is Web.de. For some other providers like Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail but there is a very simple way to encrypt the e-mails: the Firefox add-on freenigma. One can not, however, simply download and install, but requires an invitation, you may apply to freenigma.de. Despite the German web site can be found only English-language texts. But this is not so bad, because there is no configuration required. If you have received their invitation and registered, you must install the add-on only and then invite their communication partners to use freenigma.
