Secure email

Secure email is like sending a secret message. When you send a regular email, it's like sending a postcard. Anyone who wants to can read what's on the postcard. But with secure email, it's like sending a letter in an envelope that's locked. Only the person you're sending it to can open the envelope and read what's inside.

To send a secure email, you need to use special software or a website that provides encryption. Encryption is like putting your message in a code that only the person you're sending it to can decode. It's like having a secret language that only you and your friend understand.

Before you send the email, you'll have to create a password or a key. This password or key is like the key to the lock on the envelope. When your friend gets the email, they'll have to use the same password or key to open the lock and read the message inside.

Secure email is important because it keeps your private information safe. For example, if you're sending important personal information like your social security number or your bank account information, you want to make sure that only the person you're sending it to can read it. With secure email, you can be sure that your information is safe and only the person you trust can read it.
