How do I send a secure email from the web portal?

The Secure Exchanges online portal allows you to send a secure message without using your email application (Outlook, Gmail, etc.). Here is how.

Step 1: Log in to the online portal

Log in to your account, then click on "Send a secure email".

Once logged in, you will see the following interface.
