A Quick Start Guide to Use EaSecure

EaSecure use strong PKI-grade encryption but is made extremely easy to setup and use. All you need to do is to open your first EaSecure message and you will be able to receive highly secure public key encrypted messages from other users and send EaSecure messages to anyone who has an email address. The following describes how to obtain and open your first EaSecure message.

Step 1 - Receive a one-time-password-protected EaSecure message (skip this step if you have already received an EaSecure message from your correspondent recently - within 7 days before the one-time password expires). You may ask a friend who uses EaSecure to send an EaSecure message to you or enter your email address below and click "Try It Now" to cause a "Welcome" EaSecure message to be sent to your email address.

You will receive a one-time-password-protected EaSecure message with an ".eas" attachment and a separate email message containing the one-time password.

Step 2 - Download and install the EaSecure Software (skip this step if the EaSecure software is already installed on your computer). The EaSecure Standalone Client XP works on Windows XP or higher with any email client, including web-based emails such as Yahoo mail, Hotmail, and Gmail. For Windows lower than XP (98, me, 2000), you should download and install the EaSecure Standalone Client 98. (EaSecure plug-ins for Outlook 2002 and 2003 and Outlook Express 6 are also available at http://www.easecure.com/download.html, which will give you more convenience if you use these email clients.)

Step 3 - Open the one-time-password-protected EaSecure message. First, double-click the ".eas" attachment (or download and open it from a web-based email account). A dialog box similar to the following will be shown:

Enter the corresponding one-time password into the above dialog box, click "OK", and wait for the EaSecure client to generate your public/private keys and contact the EaSecure server. When it finishes, a dialog box similar to the following will be shown:

Choose a password that you can remember but is difficult to guess and type it into the above dialog box (twice) and click "OK." The EaSecure message will be decrypted and shown in the EaSecure standalone client (or in an Outlook or Outlook Express window if you use the EaSecure plug-in).

After these simple steps, your public/private keys will be established and will be used to encrypt future EaSecure messages sent to you. All the one-time passwords sent to your email address will expire and you will not receive one-time passwords anymore. Instead you can open ALL past and future EaSecure messages using your own password established above. To open any past and future EaSecure message, simply double-click the ".eas" attachment (or download and open it from a web-based email account) and enter your own password into a dialog box similar to the following:

Now, you can also send EaSecure messages to anyone who has an email address. If the recipient is already an EaSecure user, the message will be encrypted by the recipient's public key. If the recipient is not yet an EaSecure user, the message will be protected by a one-time password and the recipient can open it with the procedure described above. After the recipient opens the first EaSecure message, he or she will automatically become a user and subsequent messages be encrypted by the recipient's public key.

If you use the EaSecure standalone client, you can use it to compose and send encrypted messages. You need to setup the SMTP server before you can send out EaSecure messages using the standalone client.

If you use an EaSecure plug-in, you can use your email client (Outlook 2002,2003 or Outlook Express 6) to compose the messages and send them out by clicking the "Send EaSecure" button. You do not need to setup the SMTP server if your email client is already set up to send and receive emails correctly.
