Email Security Service


Unwanted email, or "spam," has proliferated at staggering rates, and a recent study by Radicati Group (June 2003) notes that spam currently represents 52 percent of all email traffic and is expected to grow to 70 percent by 2007. Further, spam-related costs are expected to increase from $49 per mailbox in 2003 to $250 per mailbox in 2007.

The graph below shows disproportionate growth in spam volume compared to legitimate email, highlighting the problem enterprises face today.

Digital IDs for Secure Email

Installed in your Web browser or email software, a VeriSign Digital ID serves as an electronic substitute for sealed envelopes and handwritten signatures, enabling you to:

  • Digitally sign email messages to assure recipients that the email really was sent by you.
  • Encrypt email contents and attachments, protecting them from being read by online intruders. Only your intended recipient can decrypt them.
  • Receive U.S. $1,000 of NetSureSM protection against economic loss caused by corruption, loss, or misuse of your Digital ID.
  • Free revocation and replacement if your Digital ID is lost or corrupted

NOTE: A Digital ID cannot be used with a Web-based email service. Example: Yahoo or Hotmail are Web-based email services.
