When your clients use your Smart-Form
form, their data is entered using a strongly encrypted SSL
connection via our THAWTE encryption certificate.
Plus, you can also have the e-mail that
delivers your form results encrypted from prying eyes.
Using
Smart-Form's E-Mail Encryption is Important
and Easy!One of
Smart-Form's most important features
is the ability to encrypt your form
results during e-mail transmission.
Very few of our competitors
offer this feature.
Why is that important?
The picture below shows a (greatly
simplified) view of how Smart-Form works.
You can see that your client completes your
form using Smart-Forms' Secure SSL
connection (supported by all popular
browsers), but what
about the e-mail that delivers your form
results?
It goes over the internet just like
everything else, so unless it is encrypted
it can be viewed by prying eyes along the
way!
Smart-Form expects that you will wish
to protect your client's privacy by using
the Smart-Form E-Mail encryption feature,
particularly if you are accepting sensitive
client information such as Credit Card or
other identity-related numbers.
To have your Smart-Form e-mails encrypted
you must do two things:
- create a Smart-Form encryption
certificate
- associate the certificate with your
form's recipients
Once that is done, your forms will be
encrypted before being sent and others will
not be able to read them, but you you can
open them just as normal!

Once you register with Smart-Form you can
easily create your own Smart-Form Encryption
certificate and use it to
encrypt form-results being delivered to all,
some or any of the form's recipients.
E-Mail encryption
is available on all Smart-Form accounts
and we urge you to take
advantage of the added security! |
