Please use clear, detailed, and descriptive subject lines in any encrypted email, including case names if applicable. The computer cannot search the body of encrypted email, so a searchable subject line is essential to finding messages.

S/MIME

S/MIME Public Key (expires 1//5/2019)

Users who have a digital ID may download the S/MIME Public Key above in order to encrypt email to billday [at] daylawpractice.com. Free Secure Email Certificates are available from Comodo.  Microsoft provides instructions on importing keys in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2013 (People > New Contact > Certificate > Import).

The free, open source, and cross platform email client Thunderbird is my choice for security, ease of use and flexibility.  Thunderbird can be used with both S/MIME and PGP, as described below.  Like Outlook, Thunderbird can import S/MIME keys and sign and encrypt email with them.

For law firms, Google and Microsoft have introduced limited S/MIME capabilities for webmail in their enterprise software G Suite and Microsoft Office 365.  However, because private keys are hosted on the servers, encryption through webmail does create some security risks.
