Purpose: Google Apps is a customizable package of workplace applications, where the communication hub is Gmail. These instructions guide you through the steps required
to setup a custom 'From' address using your Gmail or Google Apps service, to seamlessly send and receive secure
email ZSentry Mail (Zmail), also using PKI/X.509 and PGP. Supports Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Live, Hotmail, other providers and email addresses,
and using an organization's domain name.
How it Works: After the setup, any
email and attachments that you send using the custom 'From' account in your Gmail or Google Apps service, are protected by
encryption and authentication before transmission and will be delivered end-to-end encrypted by ZSentry as a secure email Zmail. All you do is click Send in the
Gmail or Google Apps screen. You receive secure email Zmail at your Inbox, for
example in Gmail or Google Apps, and read by clicking a link (also by copy-and-paste, or as the sender has defined).
Use with Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Live, Hotmail, AOL, .Mac mail, and other providers: For example, let's assume that you want to use the Yahoo Mail address "user@yahoo.com". Follow the Gmail setup as given and use "user@yahoo.com" as your Custom 'From' Address in your Gmail or Google Apps account. Thereafter, to send Zmail from user@yahoo.com you first select its 'From' address and then click Send in the Gmail or Google Apps screen. You can automatically forward mail received at your Inbox at any provider (for example, for "user@yahoo.com") to Gmail, and handle all secure sending and receiving only in Gmail (Zmail authentication works across forwarding).
Use with your organization's own domain name: The same as above.
Use with your gmail.com email address: Not possible at this time. You need to use a third-party email address.
Benefits:- ZSentry makes Gmail and Google Apps comply with HIPAA, HITECH Safe Harbor, GLBA, SOA, and financial regulations.
- No HIPAA Business Associate Agreement to
sign.
- ZSentry works seamlessly cross-platform for reading & replying, providing intuitive and secure one-click use
with Gmail or Google Apps. A first link is marked for web browsers (no setup); a second link opens in Desktop and Mobile
Mail clients (may need setup).
- ZSentry is a "no-target" technology that eliminates the online copy and storage of passwords and keys, thus
eliminating major risk factors in protecting servers and clients against breaches due to penetration
attacks.
- ZSentry leapfrogs today's cloud security solutions. Companies that
could be nervous about trusting their emails and trade secrets to a cloud solution today can, instead, use
ZSentry's "no-target" technology to allay disclosure concerns due to breaches in using Gmail, Google Apps, and other online
solutions.
- You will be asked to provide both your ZSentry
Usercode and Password to Google, to enable the service. This will be done using SSL and should
be treated securely by Google, as a secret "password". The very large variety of the ZSentry
Usercode, with unpredictable values, will further help protect and harden your ZSentry Password from brute force
attacks, as an attacker would have to guess both correctly at the same
time.
- The ZSentry SMTP server starts SSL before any data is exchanged, and never uses
plaintext.
- Uses two-factor authentication and certifies both your Name and Email Address before a message is
sent or read.
- Encrypted Address Book with automatic key management.
Reviews ZSentry
makes Gmail and Google Apps HIPAA compliantby Vernon M Neppe, MD, PhD I regularly send secure HIPAA compliant
zmails with attachments to my patients and to businesses using Apple Mail. I send them as quickly as regular email and also save FedEx costs. My patients easily and securely open the zmails in their browser, mail client or even through their cell phone. They can now also receive and send their zmails through gmail. This means that gmail and Google Apps are now HIPAA compliant. The ZSentry engine is so remarkable that I became an early investor and User Advocate.
Secure emails directly from your Gmail or Google Apps accountby Maria K.
I work in a Doctor's office where fast and efficient is just as important as secure and simple. I like to know that the patient information I send gets to the right person and doesn't get lost on someone's fax machine or desk. With Zmail, I don't have to waste time phoning to find out if they received the information because I get an email letting me know when they opened it. The best part is that it does not make HIPAA compliance a burden. The person can read and respond securely right away without downloading a new program or even registering. I let our Zmails self-destruct after a month, which also removes our license for reading even a copy of it, so that each Zmail enforces non-disclosure and reduces everyone's risk.
