Abstract

A method and system for processing an email having redacted content, and/or where the message content has been encrypted and recorded as encrypted, is provided.

Claims (17)

1. A system for providing a registered encryption service for an email system, comprising:

a processor in communication with at least one memory;

a server configured in accordance with the processor and memory, the processor and server remote from a recipient, the server programmed to

receive a message from a sender associated with the system,

parse one or more headers of the message received from the sender of the message,

store information associated with the one or more parsed headers in a database stored on one of the at least one memory according to a security level or other data provided by the sender of the received message,

secure the received message in accordance with the security level or other data provided by the sender of the received message for transmission to an intended recipient,

transmit the secured message, and information associated with the secured message, to the intended recipient,

process the information stored in the database to determine the security level of the transmitted message, and

generate a report related to the transmitted secured message and including an indication of the determined security level of the transmitted secured message and transmit the report to the sender.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generated report is an authentication-ready report.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the authentication-ready report is transmitted to the sender.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is further programmed to store a record of a method used to secure the received message in a database stored in one of the at least one memory.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is further programmed to store a record including a portion of a transmission protocol used to transmit the secured message to the intended recipient in a database stored in one of the at least one memory.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is further programmed to store a record of a method used to secure the message delivered to the intended recipient in a database stored in one of the at least one memory.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is further programmed to store a record of a method used by the sender or sender server to secure the message received from the sender and the method used to secure the message sent to the intended recipient, in a database stored in one of the at least one memory.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the server is further programmed to record the enablement of the redaction of content from the message transmitted to the intended recipient.
