Abstract: A method of encrypting email where a email is intercepted from an email sender, a public and private key pair is generated, and the private key is used to encrypt the email. A secure connection is then established with a server and the private key is sent to the server. The email is sent to the recipients who then connects to the server. The server performs authentication on the recipients. The recipients request the private key from the server which is returned by the server. The email is then decrypted using the returned private key.
