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.

“It is so wonderful to our neurologists that a man can see without his eyes, that it does not occur to them that is just as wonderful that he should see with them; and that is ever the difference between the wise and the unwise: the latter wonders at what is unusual, the wise man wonders at the usual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Though there are wreck-masters appointed to look after valuable property which must be advertised, yet undoubtedly a great deal of value is secretly carried off. But are we not all wreckers contriving that some treasure may be washed up on our beach, that we may secure it, and do we not infer the habits of these Nauset and Barnegat wreckers, from the common modes of getting a living?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
