Difference Between E-Mail and Secure Messaging
Secure Messaging is a paradigm change to the well known email technology and protocol. Secure Messages are encrypted bidirectionally and are stored on a network or internet server. This has the advantage of archiving the data centrally and providing added security—since message data downloaded to a local hard drive are subject to breach if the computer is ever lost or stolen. This is a common vulnerability with computers using traditional client-server based Email. However there are also drawbacks, like the concern about the server's ability to hold intrusions, since all the information it stores makes it a standing target, and the intentions of the server itself.
