Outlook Encryption

Version
1.0
OMNIQUAD Outlook Encryption allows you to seamlessly
send and receive encrypted e-mail to and from other
Outlook Encryption users. This product uses symmetric
encryption, meaning that you need to agree the pass
phrase with the e-mail recipient before they can read
your message. Symmetric encryption is not intended to
be a replacement for public key encryption system, but
it is a viable alternative for many cases where using a
public key encryption is not the best option. Sending
encrypted messages is easy. All it involves is clicking
the Encrypt button once you have finished typing your
message and inserting your attachments. Outlook
Encryption will prompt you for a pass phrase to use as
a key to encrypting the message. The recipient will
have to use the same pass phrase to read your message.
Any attachments you insert will be automatically
encrypted too.Decrypting received encrypted messages is
also very simple. There is a free plug-in reader
available. Enter the pass phrase when you are prompted
and the mail decrypts in your Inbox. The Password Book
stores pass phrases you used to encrypt messages to or
decrypt messages from specific users, but only if you
set option "Remember pass phrase in my password book"
while entering the pass phrase itself. If you send or
receive encrypted messages frequently to or from the
same sender - select option Remember Pass Phrase in
your Password Book. Your pass phrase will be associated
with this sender only and so future encrypted messages
to or from this sender will be encrypted automatically
without prompting you to enter anything again.
