Email Encryption

  1. If the sender enters the words ‘encrypted’ or ‘encrypt’ into the email's line, then the message is encrypted when sent to the recipient.
  2. If the message contains a Social Security Number (SSN) or Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) number, the message will be encrypted when sent to the recipient.
