Most Internet Service Providers (ISP) supply E-mail services and maintain both POP3 and SMTP servers. They will have some form of backup or archiving mechanism in place (I know we maintain backup and archive every message that comes in and out of our mail servers).
What if you wanted to send a picture that was a bit sensitive - something you didn't want other people to see. If you send an unecrypted photograph via E-mail the chances are it is sitting somewhere on a mail server where staff have access, or even worse - what if they were hacked and your pictures ended up being uploaded to some internet web site.
Photo Encrypt and Send was written over a two day (yes, two days) period to help protect images from prying eyes. You can encrypt images in one of two ways. 1) Load the application, add the images, click "Encrypt and Send" and follow the prompts. 2) Right click on your selected images, click on "Send To", select "Photo Encrypt and Send", click the "Encrypt and Send" button and follow the promts.
If you have received an encrypted image there are two ways to decrypt them. 1) Save the images then right click on the saved images and click "Send To" and select "Decrypt Photos". 2) If you have only received 1 encrypted image you can just open it from within your E-mail Client. You need to enter the password used to encrypt the pictures and select a folder to save the decrypted images into.
For security purposes you should not send the password via E-mail, you should tell the recipient the password via telephone or some other method otherwise the password is also saved by your ISP which makes the entire process pointless.
Download Photo Encrypt and Send
Freeware
The software is provided to you free of charge, you may use it for as long as you want without any cost to you. It is provided without any warranty. It has been tested on Windows XP but should work on other Windows Operating Systems (I don't really know to be honest).
Note:
Only images encrpyted with "Photo Encrypt and Send" can be decrypted. Images that have been encrypted have a file extension of .peas (it means Photo Encrypt and Send).
