Email system has become the widely preferred means of information transfer in the modern business. Conventional email system is secured by a password system leading to a single layer of protection which is insufficient for guaranteed security. Modern businesses are more relying on electronic mail for communication with their clients and colleagues revealing the need for more privacy of sensitive information. The email is connected through many routers and mail servers on its way to the recipient by becoming vulnerable to both physical as well as virtual eavesdropping. The current industry standards do not place much emphasis on security as the information is transferred in plain text and the mail servers will be regularly performing the backups of the emails passing through. This leaves a digital paper trail that can be easily inspected months or years later which can be read by any cracker who gains access to an unprotected router. The proposed system helps to secure the sensitive information sent through email by providing a three layer authentication mechanism.
