You might be unaware that you can harden your email security by enabling email encryption from your cPanel itself. The Email Encryption feature in cPanel protects your outgoing emails from unauthorized recipients. In simple words, you can send encrypted email messages, and the recipient will not be able to open the email without entering the private key. It enhances message security and privacy as no one can read your message without a private key. You can easily encrypt your messages using Public Key, and the recipient will have to provide the Private Key in order to read that message.

To create these public and private keys, cPanel uses GnuPG or GNU Privacy Guard feature. The GNU privacy guard encrypts the message and provides extraordinary message security to the users. It uses two ways such as public and private key cryptography schemes to create these keys, and enhance your email security by preventing sensitive information. Here in this tutorial, we’re gonna walk you through the step-by-step guide to encrypting your email security using cPanel.
