Encryption is a major issue to look at when a person discusses the use of
sending valuable information on the web. The gov't has had a mixed emotion
over what the rules and regulations of encryption should be. Personally,
encryption is a great feature to have becuase not only does your message
become encoded, your privacy is respected. I feel safer about sending
personal information (if I need to) with an encryption page than to not have
it. As a web designer, clients love having this feature for the e-mails to
protect their e-mail addresses from spam bots.
