Secure messaging refers to the practice of protecting sensitive data during communication through platforms that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communication using encryption and security protocols. It is commonly used for personal, professional, and governmental communication to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, interception, or tampering. Secure messages provide non-repudiation as the recipients (similar to online banking) are personally identified and transactions are logged by the secure email platform.
