Goal and impact
We use this computer programme to send information securely in the mail. If you mail important information, this programme helps protect the information in the mail.
Considerations
It is important as a municipality to mail securely. Employees send e-mails to people inside and outside the municipality every day. Sometimes these mails contain information that we are not allowed to send to just anyone. Keeping track with each other of what you all send is very complicated. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to send safe online messages and mails to each other. That is why we use a programme that helps us send e-mails securely.
Human intervention
The employee uses Outlook to send an e-mail securely with Cryptshare. Before sending the e-mail, the employee can choose or have a password created. This password must be given separately to the recipient. After sending, the password cannot be found.
The employee or someone outside the municipality can visit the municipality's Cryptshare site. First, the sender enters the e-mail address of the person to whom the e-mail goes. Then the sender receives a code for verification. Next, the sender enters the e-mail address of the recipient and the file. A password can also be chosen, which can be self-created or created automatically.

Technical design
The message is encrypted when the programme is turned on. When you add an attachment to the mail, it is added and stored encrypted on the cryptshare server. The recipient receives an e-mail with a link to the file. To download this message, the recipient is given a password to view it.
