Technology
• Technology is changing at a brisk pace.• Moore’s Law
In 1965 Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip will double about every two years.
• Computers are more powerful, less expensive, and become obsolete sooner
• More ways to “get it done” better, faster, and cheaper.
• As hardware capabilities increase, software is modified to need more hardware capability…the cycle continues

Secure Email
Can Be Simple or Complicated;
Expensive or Inexpensive
• Personal Security Certificate (SSL)
• Cumbersome
• Limited Functionality
• Encryption Software
• Freeware (less integrated)
• Cost-Based (more integrated)
• Password Protected Files
• Zip Files (less secure)

Email File Encryption
• Encrypt the file, then send it as an attachment
• Cryptainer LE and DeCypherIT are free programs used for this example.
• Cryptainer LE limits file size to 25mb – more than sufficient
• Use DeCypherIT to decrypt the file
• OR…….
• Create an ecrypted “.exe” file to send
• Many firewalls and email clients block .exe files
