How SecureLine Works

SecureLine integrates Public Key Encryption, for recipients who are email security savvy with SecureLine Escrow and SecureSend for recipients who are not.

SecureLine Escrow and SecureSend work by creating a secure, simple environment, and bringing the recipients of your messages to the environment instead of forcing them to create their own.

Step 1

The SecureLine user or an administrator uploads contacts, for insecure recipients including a confidential authorization question and answer known only to the recipient, the sender, and other authorized individuals. New secure contacts can also be added while composing messages in LuxSci's secure WebMail client.

Step 2

The user sends a message, either from a desktop client like Outlook, or through LuxSci's modern WebMail client. The transparent encryption gateway will automatically encrypt the message and decide upon the best way to send the message, whether by Public Key Encryption (2a) or the Escrow Portal (2b).

Step 2a

If a public key is available, SecureLine will transparently encrypt the message and send it to the recipient.

Additionally, if anyone sends the SecureLine user an encrypted message, SecureLine can transparently decrypt the message before delivering it to the user's inbox.

Step 2b

If the recipient doesn't have a public key, then SecureLine will use the Escrow Portal. This works by 1 sending an unencrypted email to the recipient with a link to the escrow portal and a password for the message. The user will follow the link 2 to the Escrow Portal which will prompt them for their password and for the answer to their Security Question. This will allow them to view the message and reply freely to the user. The end user will 3 receive all messages as normal emails and can respond to them as simple replies- SecureLine will transparently take care of the rest.

Step 3

Any non-secure person with an email address can go to LuxSci's SecureSend portal and initiate a secure conversation with a SecureLine user. This final service closes the loop and allows free flow of secure information to and from your clients, friends and contacts without any special security software or knowledge.
