SigabaSecure Protects E-mails

SigabaSecure software protects a user's e-mail with encryption, says Sigaba Corp. It works with a user's current e-mail address and encrypts all messages sent, even if the recipient does not subscribe to the service, says the San Mateo, Calif.-based company.

SigabaSecure lets users confirm mail receipt, shred keys, set time requirements delineating when a document can be open, and send their mail encrypted.

Sigaba handles all key management and encryption so the user does not.

The product is available for Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 and Netscape Messenger 4.7, as well as Netscape Messenger, Microsoft Outlook 2000, Eudora, Yahoo Mail and other applications.
