Protecting Your Email Address

Protecting Your Email Address

Trend Micro Encryption for Email requires a registered email address in order to work. When you register an email address, Encryption for Email acquires a set of encryption keys that are unique to you and your registered and confirmed email address. Without these keys, Encryption for Email cannot make your email private. For a more detailed discussion, see Managing the Encryption for Email Keys.

You can register as many email addresses as you like. Each address will receive a new private key each month. To save you time, the installation program registers the first address for you.

When you install Encryption for Email, you automatically obtain your private key. Your email address is then used as your unique email identity for use with the private encryption key.
