Email security

Abstract

Emails were not designed with cyber-attack protection in mind, making them an attractive target for cybercriminals. A primary attack vector is phishing, a type of social engineering in which a fraudulent message is sent to trick a person. however, email messages can be secured using cryptography. For example, end-to-end encryption could protect them in transit and at rest. In addition, transport Layer Security is used to protect emails in transit between email servers and clients. Nevertheless, emails may never be as secure as newly designed solutions with solid end-to-end encryption and robust architecture.
