DeutschNowadays, email servers mostly transfer data over an encrypted connection. In fact, unencrypted emails are securely transferred using transport route encryption. The encryption occurs with the respective provider – automatically in the background. No further action is required by you or your communications partner.
Transport route encryption is now supported by most email providers.
In the following table, you can see a list of selected providers that also support DANE protocol in addition to standard transport route encryption. DANE eliminates various weak spots of the widely used transport route encryption SSL/TLS - and as a result increases security during the encrypted transport of emails.
