providing an interface to a file encryption application to a user for access on the user computer; receiving, from the user through said interface to the file encryption application over said network, an input designating an encryption option from among a plurality of encryption options; based upon said input designating an encryption option, and based upon a format of said file, causing a separate application specific to said format to encrypt said at least one file, wherein said encrypted file is adapted to be decrypted using a passcode; generating a first email, for transmission to a recipient email address, comprising a uniform resource identifier and said at least one encrypted file attached thereto, wherein said uniform resource identifier is configured such that, upon a user of the remote computer activating said uniform resource identifier, said remote computer is adapted to generate a second email requesting an indication of the passcode associated with said at least one encrypted file to be transmitted to a phone number address stored in association with said recipient email address in a memory; transmitting the first email with said at least one encrypted file to said recipient email address over said network; after a period of time, receiving, from the recipient email address over the network, said second email, wherein the second email is generated as a result of said user of the remote computer activating the uniform resource identifier in the first email; and based upon said receipt of said second email, automatically transmitting a message to said phone number address, wherein the message contains said indication of said passcode. |
