  • Patent number: 10742586
    Abstract: Information can be added to the headers of email messages to ensure the messages are delivered using encryption, without the user having to manage keys or perform the encryption. A user can select an option in an email program that causes a flag to be added to the message header. Each mail server along the delivery path can provide (or expose) information about the type(s) of encryption supported, and if the encryption is not sufficient then the message will not be delivered to that server. This ensures the transport will remain encrypted before delivering the message to the next hop along the path. If the message cannot be delivered encrypted then the message will not be transmitted past that point. An end user then only needs to click a button or perform another such action to ensure encrypted message delivery.
