E-mail Security[1] has been a growing concern over the past few years. The average individual, who uses e-mail, naively believes that their e-mail is private and secure. The electronic world is filled with snoopers who can access all types of data over the network. As the world goes digital, with more and rawer information about individuals available electronically, the need for security increases. Ubiquity and speed of email have made it increasingly effective. So providing reliance over this medium has become an inevitable requirement. There are other systems that provide specific security and are strongly tied to the mail servers and browsers [4]. To overcome this problem we propose HID Device based Secure E-mail which is immune to root kits, botnets, man in the middle attack, phishing.
