JumbleMe.com is an online email encryption service which protects electronically transmitted information.
History[edit]
In 1996, Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and in 2009 the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). The laws addressed concerns over the security and privacy of the electronic transmission of health information. The acts prescribe penalties for health care providers and employers who send unencrypted medical information to any recipient, including the owner of the information. The fines can run as high as one million dollars.
Dr. Greg Hill is a Philadelphia physician who wrote a program to encrypt the emails he was sending to patients in order to comply with the HIPAA and HITECH laws. He initially shared the program with the medical community, but it was so well received that he launched JumbleMe.com to provide the encryption program to other industries.
Features[edit]
As Jumbleme has evolved, it now allows individual and corporate users to:
- Send secure, encrypted emails through any computer or smartphone
- View emails from any computer with internet access or use the optional Outlook integration software
- Set expiration dates on outgoing emails
- Delete emails after they have been sent
- Limit the number of possible views for outgoing emails
- Limit email copying, printing, and forwarding
Site usage[edit]
The email sender and recipient select a password that allows access to the email. The sender then appends “JumbleMe.com” to the recipient email address, which relays the message through the JumbleMe servers. The website encrypts the email using AES256 encryption standards and forwards the secured message to the recipient. The recipient can use local software or an internet browser to decrypt the message by entering the password.
