Review on BBC ClickOnline by Kate Russel - October 27th 2005 |
There is always a lot of talk about protecting your privacy online. I have to say, for most of us the chances of anyone eavesdropping on our electronic correspondence are extremely slim. But, if it is the kind of thing you worry about and you are using Hotmail or Yahoo to send your e-mails, Keygloo works a treat to make sure what is meant to be private stays that way.

There is always a lot of talk about protecting your privacy online. I have to say, for most of us the chances of anyone eavesdropping on our electronic correspondence are extremely slim. But, if it is the kind of thing you worry about and you are using Hotmail or Yahoo to send your e-mails, Keygloo works a treat to make sure what is meant to be private stays that way.
The first step is to register and an activation password will be sent to you. Some personal details are required, but the privacy policy seems fair to me. Once the download is complete just double click the .exe file to install.
You are given a number of options along the way. You want to choose to install and get a new Keygloo number as this is your first time of using it. When asked for your Activation Password you need to enter the code that was e-mailed to you after registration. A few more set up steps, and choices about where to store data are required, before finalising your account with a password.
Using the software is extremely simple, and very well explained in the online tutorials under Guides, which you should look at for more tips, as running through it all here will take too long.
It currently only works for Hotmail and Yahoo mail services, and only through Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, but this is an early beta version so presumably versions for Firefox, Opera users and such like will come along soon. They have also released an extension that allows you to integrate it with Outlook Express which is excellent for using to encrypt in-browser messages and attachments.
Do remember the person you are mailing encrypted data to will need the same software installed to decode it.

As soon as an e-mail message is sent from your machine you lose control over it. Anyone with proper access rights to your mail server can read the mail. One solution to make your mail secure is to encrypt the message so that only the intended recipient can open it. The free software Keygloo addresses this e-mail security concern by helping you encrypt the content.

To use Keygloo, you need to sign-up with the service, then download and install it. While installing, select the option `Install Keygloo and get a Keygloo number'. During installation, the service provides you a Keygloo number which is associated with an encryption key pair. The key-pair consists of a public key and a private key. The public key component will be stored on the Keygloo server and the private key component will be on your local storage. Using your public key, anyone can lock or encrypt the document while sending it across to you. The file encrypted or locked thus can only be opened with your private key. Provide a password to protect your private key and note down your Keygloo number that will be generated towards the end of the installation process.
Once Keygloo is installed on your machine, apart from sending encrypted e-mail attachments, you can use it for protecting the folders/files on your local storage. The point to note here is that if you want to send an encrypted file to your friend/client, she should have Keygloo installed on her machine too and you should encrypt the file using the Keygloo number of your friend. A file encrypted in this manner can only be decrypted using the recipient's private key.
