Thanks, but there are a lot of companies they send to and each end user would have to send private keys etc.

Whichever system you use you NEVER send the private key - the idea is that you get them to send YOU their public key - this is then used to encrypt the message that you send to them.

Outlook is what we use on our end, but who knows what they use on their end. &nbsp;This would need to work with Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail - whatever.

Need help finding a program (preferably free) that will encrypt and password protect email attachment files. &nbsp;The email itself does not need to be encrypted, and not all file attachments.<br />
<br />
The attachments are different kinds of files (excel, pdf) and will be sent to many different financial companies - so it must be a common file extension like .zip<br />
<br />
Are there any programs that are easy for end-users? &nbsp;Anything that will integrate with Outlook?

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
