SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for
transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL addresses email
privacy by providing secure and accurate data communications among
email servers and various e-mail client programs such as Eudora,
Netscape, and Outlook (Express).
Why do I need SSL encryption?
SSL transport protects message headers (From, To, Subject fields)
and bodies from interception on the way to and from the mail server.
This part of the route is most critical for email privacy since this is
when local authorities like your company, your ISP, or local government
agencies can monitor or even modify your mail without your knowledge.
Even if you use PGP or a similar program to encrypt your messages,
these programs usually leave email headers in the clear, and often mail
headers can provide a lot of information about who you're communicating
with and the subject of your messages. In addition, SSL transport
provides security for your account access information (your username
and password) as well. If this information is sent in the clear over
the Internet, it can easily fall prey to network "sniffing" attacks,
which would grant an intruder complete access to your email account.
How SSL Works.
Using SSL, both servers and clients can authenticate the identity of
each other. SSL secures email communications by using private and
public key technology for both authenticating the connection and
encrypting the data. After establishing an authenticated connection,
the messages and attachments are encoded, sent, received and decoded
using the public and private encryption keys.
Some details are left out for the sake of simplicity. SSL works similarly to this for a client-server situation:
- A client requests a secure connection to a server.
- The server sends its authentication certificate and its public key to the client.
- The
client verifies the certificate. If the certificate is valid, the
client sends the server a randomly generated encryption key encoded
with the server?s public key.
- The server decodes the encryption key using its private key.
- The client and server can now exchange encoded data.
How do I use SSL ?
If you are certain you want to use SSL, first get to know if your mail server supports SSL, then configure your e-mail software.
Configuring Outlook Express for Windows.
Select Tools => Accounts
Select your mail account, then click Properties.
Select the Advanced tab.
A window similar to the following will appear:
Check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the Incoming mail (POP3).
Check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the Outgoing mail (SMTP).
Click OK.
Click Close.
Configuring Outlook for Windows.
Select "Tools" => "Email Accounts". A window similar to the following will appear:
Select "View or change existing e-mail accounts", then click "Next".
Select your mail account, then click "Change".
Click "More Settings".
Select the "Advanced tab". A window similar to the following will appear:
Check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the "Incoming Server (POP3)".
Check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)".
Click "OK".
Click "Next".
Click "Finish".
