Free solutions in situations like this can often be superior. Picking a free open source and standards-compliant encryption solution is a wise choice.

Lockbin provided a secure ssl connection with a valid certificate. A free desktop application lets me send encrypted emails from my desktop, or I can use it online.

This is just basic. I mean security 101 kind of stuff…..From what I could tell, only FlexCrypt provided a secure, SSL connection. What good is typing a message to “encrypt” when it’s in plain text in the first place for your ISP to see?!?! That’s HORRIBLY insecure. I only saw https at FlexCrypt. The ones with only a regular http connection is not secure from the get-go. Many will fall for it though thinking it’s “secure.”

Questions that readers should consider include “Do you really want to use a free encryption solution?” and “What are the risks?”

and: “Will you get what you pay for? What is the incentive of the free encryption vendor to protect what you have given them? How important is your information and how much effort do you want to put into a free technology that may not be fully baked…and how easy will it be to force recipients of free email encryption to trust it and use it?”

If you still want to use something free, go for it.

One of the better email encryption options that is pretty reasonably priced is Voltage SecureMail.

Voltage SecureMail helps you easily send encrypted email to anyone.

Voltage SecureMail has Outlook plug-ins or you can use a web interface for sending encrypted email. Messages are completely controlled by the sender and recipient in their sent folder and inbox. No messages are stored on servers so you don’t run into Hush or Zix issues where messages expire. You always have the ability to decrypt your messages.

Recipients don’t need any special software to decrypt and read their messages, just a browser. And recipients don’t need to pay to read their email. In fact, they even get free support from Voltage. It’s much easier to use than PGP, S/MIME or other older solutions…and just as secure…which is probably why they can afford to offer free support to their customers and recipients…unlike the other solutions.

It’s an ideal solution to help address state privacy regulations in Massachusetts and Nevada as well as the more general HIPAA, SOX, PCI requirements, etc.
