Identity Theft Protection
iQWebMail offers online SECURE ENCRYPTED EMAIL SERVICES. These unique identity theft protection services provide online security to all individuals, personally and professionally, who have a need for confidential and safe email communications. The iQWebMail online service is unique because it utilizes a propriety iQ Gateway server to authenticate, encrypt/decrypt incoming and outgoing data transmissions to protect your identity. All data stored on an iQWebMail server is designed to provide secure encrypted email communications to ensure confidential, authorized access from your home or office. iQWebMail uses a unique hardware and software encryption implementation that defends against unauthorized access outside the iQWebMail network. If an unauthorized user from outside the iQWebMail network intercepts an iQWebMail encrypted email, the data would be unreadable and give you the needed identity theft protection. Additionally, iQWebMail is as versatile as all your business and personal needs. Being platform independent, allows the user to be anywhere and access their account with the same level of security. iQWebMail doesn't require the user to access their email from a specific computer or office terminal, but rather allows for complete portability. Furthermore, iQWebMail can provide the same level of security, no matter what device is used; home computer, work laptop, Smartphone, PDA. the options are limitless.

Secure Encrypted Email
Reasons Why People Use iQWebmail:
Storage - All important documents, licenses, wills and passports are put in a secure encrypted online storage vault.
Mobility - Access iQWebmail from any device capable of accessing the internet.
Security - Secure encrypted email transmission to protect your identity.
No Spam - Only safe email is received/sent to those users specified in the iQWebmail Network (Closed Network).
Virus/Worm Protection - Closed network blocks introduction of virus / worm infestations.

Why You Are a Victim of Spam or Viruses
An email address on an Open email system that allows you to send e-communications to anyone via the internet is captured multiple times in transmission and put in a secure encrypted storage vault by solicitors. When you use your email to purchase or register on a website for example, your address is remarketed to solicitors without your knowledge and permission in most instances.
In an open email system, you are easily accessible to all SPAM solicitations. SPAM blockers have limited success in filtering unwanted emails.
In addition, you are vulnerable to VIRUS AND WORM corruption of your computer, even when using Anti-virus software, that can be sent to you in an email from anywhere in the world wide web. Anti-virus software protects best against "known" problems. The challenge is that new viruses and worms are being created routinely by "e-terrorists" to disrupt communication and commerce on the internet, thus compromising your identity theft protection.
iQWEBMAIL is a closed, private network. You can only send and receive encrypted email from other IQ Users in your network that you can specify. Therefore, there is no "entry point" for SPAM, Virus or Worm e-communications to reach your secured, webmail address.
The only e-communications you receive are from people who you need to communicate with in a secure, private exchange of information.

How it Works:
1. Log in using your User I.D. and Password.
2. Select individual or group within your iQWebMail network.
3. Simply send an email containing private information (this safe email is encrypted using MDPKE technology).
4. Once the secure encrypted email has been sent, recipient then can view it in clear text (decrypted form).
5. All the data on the IQWEBMAIL server is stored in an encrypted format to protect your identity.
