Virtually all Macintosh email applications support SSL for POP and SMTP and most for IMAP, including Apple Mail, Eudora, Entourage, and Mailsmith, to name the four most popular. (Authenticated SMTP lets you send email from anywhere by logging in to an outgoing mail server just as you would to an incoming one, but the encryption it uses for passwords (and only for passwords!) is considered weaker than SSL.) My email host is FastMail, which secures incoming POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and outgoing authenticated SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) using SSL, the same encryption that’s been protecting Web pages for nearly a decade. For email, I now secure both incoming and outgoing messages along with the passwords that allow me to send and receive email.

Like a Signet Ring for Email - More and more software comes with encryption built in, requiring a similar piece of software on the other end that also supports encryption. (SSL is also known as TLS, or Transport Layer Security the former was its name under patent, while the latter is its "freed" name.) There are two main approaches to encryption that you could wind up using: transactions and sessions secured with Secure Shell (SSH) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, and all-encompassing network encryption with a virtual private network (VPN) connection. You have to assume that out of several hundred people, one person is monitoring traffic using free and freely available software, and thus you’re at risk. They might be sniffing as a hobby, or they might be simply amoral or even actively malicious.

So when you send email, upload via FTP, use a Web site that has a non-secured login, or use Netopia’s Timbuktu Pro 7 or earlier, your password is just out there to be snatched.Īre people sniffing? You bet. Most transactions you carry out using dedicated software don’t include any default protection of your password, much less the data you’re sending. While I don’t stay up at night worrying about whether someone intercepts my non-secured Web page interactions, I am concerned that my passwords for those pages could be scooped up.
I used a variety of encryption methods to make sure that nothing I did was easily snoopable, because all of the networks I used were public. What I didn’t do is expose my passwords, my browsing habits, my email, or my FTP transfers to anyone who might have been watching my traffic. I used Wi-Fi service in Seattle, Denver, and Austin airports along the way, as well as at my hotel and the SXSW venue, the Austin Convention Center. I spent five days in Austin last week at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi), the digital media and politics cousin to the music festival, which started the day I left town.
