Encryption Through the use of encryption people can feel extremely protected of their privacy. Encryption systems scramble your e-mail by altering the characters in your message. The only people who can read it are the one's that know the encryption key to decode the message. Although it is not totally fool proof it does prevent it from being sniffed. This is why the government doesn't like encryption because they can't monitor the e-mails for security against terrorism unless they have a court order to decode it.
