Banxia Software Limited - Secure Messaging

For the most part, most communications with Banxia Software need not be secure. Most emails and other communications is hard to intercept, and there is typically no gain to be made from reading an email anyway. Where there is potential for gain, as in credit card numbers on our web shop, we automatically use encryption to ensure that it is secure from your computer all the way through to our computer in our office. There is no insecure storage on our public servers. Sometimes though customers need to send us data files that contain commercially sensitive information, and procedures dictate that reasonable security be used for their transfer. To this end, we are implementing PGP secure email at Banxia to allow our customers to send confidential information to us. This page contains the information required to achieve this, but it cannot tell you how to send the email - you will have to manage that process yourself, perhaps using the resources linked to below.

Key points

• This method is designed for confidential material only
• You should send your message to secure@banxia.com (please cut and paste this - to reduce spam we have not included a link).
• Your message will be handled in our normal email system, but only a company direct has the private key to decrypt it.
• This system will introduce delay in the response to your message, so please only use it for truly confidential material.
• All reasonable effort will be made to keep the content secure, but appropriate staff will be allowed access.
• You will require software on your end to encrypt the message. We cannot give support on this software.

Public key

Our public key will be changed from time to time. Previous keys will be supported for a while after rotation.

The key has not yet been released. Please contact us at info@banxia.com.
