A method is disclosed for secure exchange of electronic data using single sign-on. According to the method an outgoing e-mail message is provided with a first pass code. The message is placed on a secure server, and the recipient receives a notification message comprising a link to the message on the server. The recipient enters a second pass code, which provides access to the e-mail on the secure server. According to the method at least one of the steps of providing a first pass code to the e-mail message and of providing a second pass code to the server is automated. In a preferred embodiment both steps are automated. Users having signed on to a secure environment can send and/or receive pass code protected e- mail messages without manually entering pass codes. In addition to e-mail as a means to send a notification, the notification also can be sent by means of social media, sms message or portable storage like an usb stick or a laptop. The address of the recipient can be an email address, a mobile phone number or another kind of destination. The content to be disclosed by the described single sign-on process can be stored encrypted in an email message, on a server in the cloud, on a device at the recipient, on a device at the sender or on portable storage. The encryption can be on file level or on the level of the container of the file such as an email message, a folder or a portable device.. |
