Full protection technology for e-mail:
The use of technologies allows ensuring full e-mail privacy.
In case of mail exchange with external users (not using the mail system of SIA Astrons), their mail server (MTA) should support SMTP TLS + POP3-SSL/IMAP4-SSL/HTTPS and the user should work with the mail server via protocols SMTP TLS + POP3-SSL/IMAP4-SSL/HTTPS. lt;/p>
As a result the mail is not delivered open, thus, even if it is captured by somebody, it will be encoded.
Example – session of dispatch of a letter
Content of the letter:
Hi!
The secret password is Bank123
Top Secret User
