Security in E-mailing
Introduction
Ulysses (user) - sends email and attachment using private key encryption to send it from LAN to LAN.From the user standpoint, email seems so simple. You select the address of the person to whom you want to send the email, compose your message and click 'Send'. All done
In reality, sending your message off into the network cloud is a bit like sending Little Red Riding Hood into the deep dark woods. You never know what might happen.
Ulysses sends an email and an image which classes as an attachment to the email, when sending the email the user uses private key encryption to send the email to another user. A private key is used for generating digital signatures and for decrypting data. Also use for authentication, data encryption/decryption, digital signing, and secure e-mail.
Message sending process?
Once user sends the email here is how the progress to the end user?.
Your Internet Service Provider has a special computer called mail server, which is responsible for collecting mail from their customers. When you click the send button, your computer connects to the mail server and transmits the message along with the list of recipients.
The message is transmitted with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). SMTP is a language that your mail program uses to speak to the mail server. SMTP lets your mail program specify the list of recipients and the text of the message. Your destination recipient also has an Internet Service Provider. They have a mail server too.
When your SMTP server decides that it's time to send your email, it connects to the destination mail server and transmits the message to it. They use SMTP to speak to each other. Therefore the destination mail server is frequently called Destination SMTP Server.
When the recipient decides to check the email, his email program connects to the destination SMTP server and retrieves mail from the server. This time, they use Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3), which is a language used to receive mail. Therefore, this server is usually called Incoming POP3 Server. - Messages are send thought port TCP port 25
Receive message and decrypt
Once the user receives the mail it’s only the valid user can view the message. Also to make sure the message it legit and say who it’s from using the digital signature, the end user will use the public key to decrypt the message.
User opens his email program and receives the mail, his email program sends a request through Internet connection to Pop3 server (through TCP port 110) and downloads the message to his computer where he sees the message from sender.
Email security services will include blocking ransomware and emerging threats with the highest effectiveness and accuracy, stopping new and sophisticated threats such as ransomware, spear phishing, and business email compromise. Spear phishing will be prevented by having a comprehensive defense that includes multiple layers of protection, strong isolation , deep visibility and dynamic security awareness. Attacks will be contained and responses will be orchestrated across endpoint security and web gateways by remediating attacks and blacklisting threats. Dynamically classify impostor email and other threats that don't involve malware. Sender-recipient relationship, domain reputation, email headers, envelope attributes and email content will be analyzed. Custom rules will be integrated allowing group and user level controls to meet the needs of the client. Quarantines will enable the customer to separate email

By doing this the message will go only to the original sender as opposed to the whole list of recipients. If replies are sent to all of the original recipients then each reply is also considered a mass mailing.
In this process of end to end encryption, the unauthorized users such as service provider or any intermediate person can’t decrypt or read the communication between the sender and receiver. In the present day, Service Providers have access to our communication but when we deploy the end to end encryption then the service provider can intercept the communication but can’t read the content of our communication and the common example is WhatsApp messaging service. We can also secure our emails by using PGP encryption technology.
...tal part of lives just like privacy. Using cryptology provides mechanisms through a digital signature. This signature is inserted using a key (that only the writer of the email possesses) whilst a timestamp binds itself to the document. This type of cryptography is used to control access of security installations or pay-per-view television channels.

“Ray Tomlinson is credited with inventing email in 1972. Like many of the Internet inventors, Tomlinson worked for Bolt Beranek and Newman as an ARPANET contractor. He picked the @ symbol from the computer keyboard to denote sending messages from one computer to another. So then, for anyone using Internet standards, it was simply a matter of nominating name-of-the-user@name-of-the-computer. Internet pioneer Jon Postel, who we will hear more of later, was one of the first users of the new system, and is credited with describing it as a "nice hack". It certainly was, and it has lasted to this day.” (http://www.nethistory.info/History%20of%20the%20Internet/email.html)
Electronic Mail, a means of communication that is growing at a very rapid rate. In this paper, I will write about introduction of e-mail, the advantage and disadvantage of e-mail, mailing lists, sending an e-mail message, sending attachments, e-mail improvement, and security features. Introduction of Electronic Mail Electronic mail (E-mail) has become popular and easy way of communication in this decade. E-mail is a method of sending and receiving document or message from one person to another. E-mail is not only replacement for postal mail and telephones, and also it is a new medium. E-mail send plain text, images, audio, spreadsheets, computer programs can attach to an e-mail message. Using the e-mail, you must have a computer on a network. The computer must require a modem and phone line. Sending and receiving e-mail needs an e-mail program. Every e-mail user requires an e-mail address. This e-mail address is similar to a postal address. E-mail address is written as username@domain, for instance, PCLEE@juno.com. The username is used for sending and receiving e-mail.
The same goes for your E-mail. If you don=t want other people to read it then don=t send it. It is the same thing with keeping a secret, once you tell one person they can tell someone else, that is why they say that three people can keep a secret if two are dead.

Communication is important in life. Companies need to communicate with other companies and customers. The managers also need to communicate with the staff. The technology provides us with many means of communication, the most important of which is e-mail.
My aims are to require my evidence that will show me to understand of broad range of my learning outcomes in my project brief.
The speed in which the mail is transported is an important factor in sending mail by either E-mail or the postal system. E-mail easily has the leading edge in this field. With a click of a button, a message can be sent and received in a few seconds to several minutes. Whether you are sending E-mail to someone next door or across the world, the time it takes to send the message is usually the same. Data files can be easily sent to someone over E-mail; unfortunately, the larger the file is in size, the longer it will take to send and receive the E-mail. Data files can be mailed to people using the postal system if the data is copied to a floppy disk or a compact disc. The postal service can send any kind of package, from a simple letter to a computer, for a price depending on its size weight, and desired shipping speed. The speed of the postal service is a problem though. A single letter can ta...
Electronic mail (e-mail) - Electronic mail. Permits you to send and receive mail. Provides access to discussion groups, often called Listservs®, after the software they operate under. Telnet or remote login. Permits your computer to log onto another computer and use it as if you were there.
In Any form of communication, there is a sender and receiver of the message. The question of whether the message is sent and how the message is received is of vital importance in communication. Communication is successful only when the receiver receives the intended message of the sender.
