What is SecureLine?
SecureLine is a LuxSci service that enables users to easily send and receive
secure email messages to anyone who has an email address. SecureLine is
compatible with any and all email services and software- no matter what their
level of security may be.
With SecureLine, users can send and receive secure emails right from their
LuxSci web portal. It also permits licensed users to send and view secure
messages in any email client program using SecureLine's optional features.
Both outbound email encryption and inbound email encryption can be automated,
and SecureLine can be both an "encryption gateway" and "decryption gateway".
SecureLine meets HIPAA
(The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and other
communication security regulations and policies. Account administrators have
the option to require that all users employ SecureLine and thus participate
only in secure communications.
What are the options for sending secure emails?
SecureLine seamlessly integrates two distinct modes of secure email
communications, SecureLine Escrow and SecureLine PKI, to make sure that you
can always safely communicate with ease. In addition, SecureLine's SecureSend
Portal is available so that you can receive secure emails from anyone.
SecureLine Escrow
SecureLine Escrow allows easy and secure communication with anyone who has an
email address. Using a simple notification and retrieval system, SecureLine
Escrow provides you with the tools you need to send important messages to
anyone without worry.
How does it work?
When composing an email for escrow, the SecureLine-enabled sender provides a
secret authorization question and answer. When sent, the secure email message
is encrypted and stored in a special "escrow" database at LuxSci. The
recipient receives an email notification with the password to the secure
message. Following the provided link to the "Escrow Portal" allows the
recipient to pick up the secure message and securely reply back to the sender.
In order to access the escrowed message, the recipient needs both the password
from the notification email and the answer to the sender-provided
authorization question (which can be saved for easy repeated use).
SecureLine PKI — PGP and S/MIME
LuxSci's SecureLine supports a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) compatible with
the S/MIME (Secure MIME) and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Public Key
technologies. This mode of operation is a more flexible and familiar email
system than the "Escrow" system. It does, however, require that the recipient
be another SecureLine user or someone who utilizes PGP or S/MIME email
encryption technologies.
How does it work?
In a public key system, the encrypted message content is sent within the email
message to the recipient, instead of being placed in escrow for later
retrieval; the recipient can easily decrypt and read such secure messages from
within his/her usual email client program or on the server using WebMail.
SecureLine SecureSend Portal
The "SecureSend Portal" allows anyone with an email address to send new secure
email messages to any SecureLine user. The sender only has to go to
http://securesend.luxsci.com (or your
own private labeled SecureSend domain name), register their email address, and
then enter the recipeint.s address to send a message with attachments up to
20Mb in size. This service is free and open to anyone. As a SecureLine user,
it is easy to both send and receive secure messages to and from anyone.
