encrypted email

Scrambled digital message

Encrypted email is electronic mail that has been encoded so only the sender and intended recipient can read its contents.

Standard email travels through servers like a postcard—readable by anyone who handles it.

Encryption scrambles the message into unreadable text that requires a key to decode: I use encrypted email for sensitive client communications.

End-to-end encryption ensures even the email provider can't access the content.
