Abstract: An end-to-end encryption method for emails sent from a sender (1) to a recipient (6) is disclosed. According to the method, the sender requests from an encryption system (16) a certificate corresponding to the recipient (6), and the encryption system (16) returns to the sender (11) a first, proforma certificate corresponding to the recipient (6). The sender (1) sends with his email client (11) an outgoing email to the recipient encrypted with the proforma certificate, and the email is forwarded through the encryption system (16). The encryption system (16) decrypts the email using a private key corresponding to the certificate and also makes the content of the email available to the recipient (6).

Abstract: A method for establishing a secure e-mail communication channel between a sender (10) and a recipient (5), wherein: 1) said sender sends an e-mail addressed to said recipient over an e-mail encryption system (16), 2) said encryption system (16) verifies in a database (160) of recipients if a public key of said recipient is available, 3) if said public key of said recipient is available, said encryption system encrypts said e-mail with said public key, and forwards the encrypted e-mail to the recipient (5), 4) if, on the other hand, said public key of said recipient is not available in said database (160), said encryption system sends instead enrolment message (1220) to said recipient, said enrolment message containing an invitation for said recipient to choose among one of the following options: i) access to said email over a secured web mail interface, or ii) sends a reply to said encryption system from which said public key can be extracted, or ii) initiate generation of a public key on the recipient's
