EncryptUs

While most users are informed enough to avoid entering their personal details in untrusted websites, few of them realize that they are actually sending sensitive data via email every day. Since emails can pass through a large number of computers and networks in an easily readable format, it means that your data can be accessed.

EncryptUs is an application designed to help you increase the protection level of emails as it encrypts the messages you exchange with other contacts that are using the tool.

The installation is fast, straightforward and does not require any special attention from your part. Upon launch, you are welcomed by the setting window which also account as the interface of the application.

You will be happy to learn that the configuration is also forthright and solely implies you enter your email addresses as well as those of the recipients. Once you enter the addresses, you are required to confirm it, a task that you can complete in a manner of seconds by logging into your account and clicking on the validation link.

It is important to note that the application does not modify anything in the way you are sending messages and thus, you can send emails as you normally do. The idea behind the utility is to keep things as simple as possible, so you do not need to bother with passwords, key generating tools, plugins, certificates, so on and so forth.

You should know that the application informs you whether the recipients also have the program. In case they do not, then it means that you can exchange emails as usual without encryption. Sending emails to users who have the application installed means that the message cannot be read by anyone else while in transit.

Even though you are not sending sensitive information via your emails, this does not justify eavesdropping from government agencies, hackers or other prying eyes. If you value your privacy a lot, then perhaps EncryptUs might be a tool worth a try.
