MDVault is a unique and solicit feature of MDofficeMail which helps you send encrypt messages from your account and holds them on our secure server instead of delivering them. The emails sent and received, both get stored in MDVault which is the primary and only storage of all emails. These emails cannot be tampered.
MDVault uses industry-standard AES-256 encryption in CBC mode with MD5 hash. This is the same class of encryption that many financial institutions and government agencies around the world use to protect their data. When used properly, MDVault also meets HIPAA and other regulatory guidelines for transmission of sensitive data to any email address.
After the first email exchange and the password for a user have been set, the encryption will prevent someone spying on the message in the 'middle' between CryptnSend User and the recipient.
