What's a secured email?
They'll send you an email with a link that you need a password to get into or the attachments are encrypted. I've seen it used mainly in clinics for HIPAA compliance and law offices.
Oh those. That seems way too extreme for that correspondence, though.
I think I also had to do some secured email thing to send/get my university transcripts. Like they would send the grad schools I applied to a direct link over secured email, to prevent students from forging or editing them before sending them to grad schools
Good question.
Makes me think of the novel cryptonomicon where the guy had to encrypt and decrypt every message on his finex (may be misremembering that one) laptop.
For those that aren't familiar it's from the late 90s so tech is dated but a pretty fun novel that deals with cryptography, by Neal Stephenson, long but enjoyable.
It usually just means encrypted or hosted on a password protected site.
