About GCrypt

Originating from a background in the secure payment gateway business, the GCrypt management team noticed that very little security was being applied to the sending of credit card data by email. GCrypt identified a gap in the marketplace for a simple, cost effective and easy to use secure email solution that would meet PCI requirements. In response to this GCrypt developed their secure email software SSLPost.

The SSLPost solution was also intended for secure electronic document delivery, and the software meets the requirements set out in the HM Revenue and Customs notice for electronic invoicing.

Security and Compliance

SSLPost uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols with a 128-bit key to encrypt communication with the server. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm is used with a 128-bit key to encrypt messages. AES and SSL are recognised as highly secure algorithms when used with a 128-bit key.

SSLPost Security Features

Further security features of SSLPost are listed below:

• SSLPost uses a highly secure encryption wrapper to securely deliver by email any type of digital content to authorised and registered recipients.
• SSLPost emails include a fingerprint or seal that establishes the time and date that the email was sent and that the email has not been tampered with during its transmission.
• All access attempts are recorded and sealed thereby preventing the audit log from being tampered with.
