Echoworx Corporation of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has launched Encrypted Message eXchange, a Web-based portal designed for organizations that want to enable customers and partners to communicate securely. The fully hosted solution, which does not require any investment in hardware or software, allows registered members to send and receive encrypted messages and attachments using their own mailboxes within the member community. The portal ensures information that can be read, exchanged, and stored securely. Members can create one or more member communities for ongoing confidential communication or for a single transaction at a time. The exchange is easily branded with an organization’s logo. Messages are encrypted using industry standard public key infrastructure and S/MIME for strong encryption and digital signature. Only the intended recipient is permitted to view a message
