PGP Encrypted E-Mail
With the rising demand for security over the Internet, requests for secure features have increased for web hosting. Winnlink has addressed this need with the implementation of PGP-based encryption for information processed by our secure servers. We offer secure server space (information is processed/transferred through the SSL, Secure Socket Layer) to handle your sensitive information, online order forms, etc. Additionally, we offer the means to secure information sent to you via SSL/on-line forms. The information is encrypted both on the server and in transit all the way back to you and the user. Winnlink is pleased to offer PGP to our customers as a means of actually encrypting the e-mail (which can only be decrypted on your end using the PGP public/private key system). Winnlink is one of the few hosting companies that offer the combination of SSL and PGP to maximize the security of on-line transactions necessary for e-commerce. The combination of SSL and PGP will provide you and your customers with maximum security. Before implementing the use of PGP, you may want to become familiar with the whole dynamics of the PGP system by visiting some of the links below for more information. You will also need to get the PGP program (available as freeware and in commercial applications, as well as available for different OS platforms [like Macs and Windows systems] and in different languages) from one of the links below. Since PGP can be rather complex, we do not go into great detail on our site about the usage or configuration of PGP (because it can be different from system to system and version to version), therefore, we recommend that you thoroughly read any available documentation. .
