Confidentiality of e-mail communication
Standard Internet e-mail is not secure enough for business purposes requiring privacy, security and non-repudiation. Sending a normal e-mail message can be compared to sending a postcard. A normal e-mail message is readable in every node participating in the delivery process and when it goes through a public network. The message can be copied at any stage. Anyone can send an e-mail with any given address.
What confidential information would you send on a postcard? Would you send sensitive business data, contracts, customer information, NDA-protected information? Whose responsibility is it if information ends up in the wrong hands? International recommendations and agreements and the legislation of data protection in telecommunications requests for e-mail protection.
