You want to send your girlfriend a message from the office and you'd rather the IT guys weren't reading your e-mail. You're messaging a potential client about the special offer you want to make and want to keep it a secret to your competitors. These are just some examples when you might want to keep your messages for yourself.
Why Encrypt your messages?
Encrypting a message keeps the contents of the message private by converting it from readable text to scrambled text. An encrypted message can be read only by recipients who have the private key to decrypt it. Encryption does not make your data secure. Not using encryption, however, means that any data in transit is as easy to read as a newspaper on your doorstep. Encryption at least ensures that anyone who does read your messages has had a hard time hacking it. The Webmasterslookup Encrypted Messaging Service will help you with your encrypting messaging needs.
Issues you have to consider (I).
- The Encryted Messaging Service of Webmasterslookup is a Private Key encryption system. Both parties share an encryption key, and the encryption key is also the one used to decrypt the message. The difficulty is sharing the key before you start encrypting the message - how do you safely transmit that key? In this system however the key is not transmitted but present on the internet. You only have to know which key to use.
- Cryptanalysis, or the process of attempting to read the encrypted message without the key, is very much easier with modern computers than it has ever been before. Modern computers are fast enough to allow for 'brute force' methods of cryptanalysis - or using every possible key in turn until the 'plain text' version of the message is found. In this particular system however the key can be a temporary key with only a short lifetime. This makes it very hard to decrypt.
The longer the key, the longer it takes to use the 'brute force' method of cryptanalysis - but it also makes the process of encrypting and decrypting the message slower. Key length is very important to the security of the encryption method - but the 'safe' key length changes every time CPU manufacturers bring out a new processor.
You can choose your own key length in the Encrypted Messaging Service of WebmastersLookup.
