Some Suggestions for Encrypting Your Email (and Why You Might Want To) Ryan Straight As Lee recently pointed out, email is not a new topic for the Profhacker crowd. It's monsoon season; the end-of-the-year flood, after all. I imagine most reading this while barely treading water. "Why not give water to a drowning prof," I thought. So here's a bit about encrypted email! I've written about encryption here before (see my post on Keybase). And while email is inherently insecure—by its very nature it is horribly insecure, prone to misfires, reply-alls, shoulder-surfing, lost laptops, phishing attempts, you name it—encrypting your email won't protect you entirely. It can protect you from the prying eyes of hackers and government entities, however. At least, in theory. Partial mitigation is preferable to giving up, after all. Now, given the nature of our work, dealing with student data, grades, medical information, you name it, it goes without saying that we should be taking whatever steps we can to protect that data regardless of our legal obligation to do so. Of course, I'm not suggesting you push for your institution to switch to an end-user encrypted email solution (though that would be pretty amazing). Simply that you may want to consider using one for yourself. Here are just a couple services to consider: ProtonMail ProtonMail is a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted email service based in Switzerland. It provides many of the same interface options as more common services like Gmail, which has just undergone some changes we Inbox users have enjoyed for some time. You can read up on their security details on their website. While natively encrypted messages are only available between ProtonMail users, there is the option to send encrypted messages to non-ProtonMail users without requiring an account. The message isn't actually sent with the email. Instead, a notification is sent with a password you must otherwise give to your recipient. These messages live for 28 days. Tutanota Tutanota is the same as ProtonMail as far as features are concerned (the same thing happens between users and non-users as with ProtonMail). Tutanota servers are located in Germany, however. All of both Tutanota's and ProtonMail's code is open source, as well. Note that I use both services: I found out about Tutanota when it was highlighted on the Private Internet Access VPN's blog post and I have been using ProtonMail for a while now. Are either of these services (or the others like them) friendly or perfect solutions? No. I'm not even sure there is one, at least not yet. They are certainly worth considering, however. But remember: there's no amount of encryption that will prevent someone from looking over your shoulder, stealing your laptop, or guessing your "dragon123" password. It doesn't mean you shouldn't encrypt. Where do you fall on the email encryption fence? Let us know in the comments! (Image via Unsplash user NeONBRAND, used with CC0 license.)
