  3. Revision

  4. Usage Overview Diagram DoE and Non-GoA users can send encrypted email to each other by creating a new email message through the process described in this training course. A Non-GoA user is able to do this using the Voltage Zero Download Messengerwhich explained in detail on the next page. A DoE user has the ability to reply securely to an encrypted email from a Non-GoAuser. As well, a Non-GoAuser can reply to an encrypted message from a DoE user and it will also be sent securely.

  5. Zero Download Messenger The Voltage Zero Download Messengerprovides Voltage encryption in a Web-based interface, enabling DoE and Non-GoA users to send, receive, forward, and reply to secure messages with no additional software required. Secure email is delivered to the user’s inbox and can be decrypted with any web browser.

  6. Non-GoA User Send and Reply Diagram Figure A: A Non-GoA user can send encrypted emails to multiple recipients but must include at least one @gov.ab.ca address for encryption to work.Figure B: If a Non-GoA user sends email to multiple recipients and NONE of them are a @gov.ab.ca address then encryption will not take place. This prevents Non-GoA users from using DoE encryption for purposes not associated with the Government of Alberta.

  7. Create Voltage Secure Mail ID Show Me • When setting up a Voltage SecureMail ID it is important to remember the two following business rules: • All fields must be filled in • Passwords must have at least one capital character and one number • Accounts are based on the email used to register.

  8. Composing Secure Email Show Me • In addition to replying to secure email, you can also compose and send secure email with the following requirements to be met: • A @gov.ab.caemail address must be present in the recipient field in order for encryption to occur. • You must have already received a Voltage Secure email and previously registered by the process of receiving/viewing that email.
