After all – if we wanted them to be public – we could always post them on Facebook! And private conversations can cause harm if exposed to the wrong people – even if there’s nothing nefarious being disclosed regarding our business or personal dealings.Īs noted – TLS has been the default transmission policy for Gmail for at least two years – but it was just brought to my attention that you can check if a Gmail message is sent or received using TLS by clicking on the ‘details’ of the message. We certainly hear enough these days about unsecure email and exposure of private conversations – so we should all be thinking about using a secure email service just to keep our communications private. Both services announced they would send email (and attachments) using TLS whenever possible – which means – whenever the receiving email service or server is configured to accept TLS encrypted email.įor the average user – this is a good thing. Major cloud email services such as Gmail and Yahoo Mail announced their use of TLS about two years ago (TLS is transport layer security – a type of encryption that can be applied to email transmissions).
