Encrypted Email is Free!

Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Opolis Secure Mail is the first free provider for fully sender-to-recipient encrypted mail and messaging service.

With demand for secure Email services increasing, it was just a matter of time till a provider would offer these services for free. But, in comparing providers it also always makes sense to ensure that the service offered is “really” secure:

Email transmissions are only entirely secure if messages remain encrypted all the way from the sender to the recipient. Several services such as DE-Mail, are not meeting this standard, as prior to delivery messages are briefly de- and again encrypted. Therefore, messages could – and possibly will - be read by unauthorized third parties.

Risky are also “secure” services which require the exchange of codes – for example via SMS - before a message can be read. Needless to say that this is not only very inconvenient, but also risky in case that such a code were intercepted.

Eventually, Email security must not be limited to mere encryption of messages: The sender of a message must be able to decide what the recipient is allowed to do with it. And, the sender must be in a position to forbid the recipient to forward, print or copy an Email.  – And all should be ideally for free!

Opolis Secure Mail (www.opolis.eu) is the answer.

Opolis was launched to provide an integrated high-security email and messaging service solution, and for free. Whilst functioning like email, various security and safety features and all encryption steps are embedded in a single service which operates from any host PC all over the world.

With Opolis, all messages and attached documents, such as text documents or photos, are in their entire chain sender-to-recipient encrypted. Emails and documents can therefore not be read or accessed by any unauthorized individual. - The sender also decides whether the recipient may copy, print, respond to or forward a message or not. Hence, information leaks can simply been prevented in that the sender forbids that a message may be printed, forwarded or copied. This feature also extends to all text and photo attachments.

The Opolis monitoring functions put the sender in a position to track all sent messages along their further trail. Hence, if for example forwarding were allowed, then the sender will see when and to whom a message was forwarded and how it was further processed.

As mentioned, Opolis is for free and merely requires that both, the sender and the recipient are Opolis users. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes.
