Secure email

I found a Q&A page from The University of Kansas that has a bunch of information about how they use secure email in there medical field. This helps to hide health insurance information from other users who should not have access to it as well personal identity information and financial information. Then this informational page goes over the steps to encrypting messages and how you know if your messages are encrypted or not. As well it tells you how/who you can message to see if you are doing it right. Its interesting to know that medical colleges use it to hide patient information from the curious world.

Another similar page I found was for the Commerce bank and goes over questions about there online security with their email which is another very important business to have this because they can send out bankers information such as social security number or bank account number over email and if some one can hack into this it can cause a lot of problems such as fraud or identity theft

Over all secure email can benefit a lot of companies if used right. Banks, schools, hospitals, even day cares are all important business's in our community that I am sure we all want the information going into them to be secure but still be able to have easy access to the information that is important to us so email is convenient way of transferring information and as long as we can make this secure we can transfer data with no problem.
