Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a question on email security. On a email encryption service you can set up criteria or keywords account numbers etc that trigger the outbound email to encrypt.<br />
<br />
If you scan a sensitive document that contains private information and send the email the encryption does not trigger as the file is &nbsp;an image.<br />
<br />
Am i right with that thought and if so is there any software that would detect the scanned files as sensitive data to be encrypted.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Scanned document protection

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.
