[quote=jsteele]There are really two issues here: 1) the transmission of the data; and 2) the storage of the data. For the first, you could employ some form of public key cryptography which would include S/Mime or PGP. How you use those depends on the operating system and email program you are using. They can be a pain to set up, but once you get them working they are pretty smooth. Then, once you get the information, you are responsible for keeping it private. I would decrypt it, print it, and file it if you normally keep hardcopy files, and then delete the electronic version. If you want to keep the electronic version, you could keep the encrypted email, but that may not be as secure as it seems. Or, you could save it to another file, encrypt that file, and delete the email. You could use PGP for that encryption as well. Whatever you do, don't rely on simple password-protected documents such as MS Word and the like provide. [/quote]
