 Security: - As with most industries, e-mail has become an essential tool for the legal industry by providing the ability to communicate and send documents instantly and at a minimal cost. Because the Internet is a public domain, e-mail is an inherently insecure and risky means of communication. Using standard e-mail packages with unencrypted messaging exposes attorneys to serious security risks. PointClear Communications recognizes these risks and has implemented the most advanced but userfriendly encryption technology into our e-mail system. A single click of the mouse enables PointClear LCS users to easily communicate securely with virtually anyone in the world.
At the heart of our software is an El Gamal-based 128-bit public/private key encryption system. Embedded within every message sent from PointClear LCS is the sender's 128-bit public key. Upon receipt of an e-mail, the sender's public key is automatically entered into a database of keys in the recipients system. For those recipients who do not use PointClear LCS, a reader/responder can accompany the encrypted message, allowing them to easily decrypt the message and respond with an encrypted message. From that point forward, all e-mail between the sender and recipient can be transmitted securely.
