Some encryption technologies that provide a fair balance between 
usability and security are listed below.

•Compression and encrypted attachments 
•Relying on passwords and a shared secret 
•Using a full PKI for desktop email security 
•Using PGP on the desktop 
•Identity based encryption
 
An encryption technology is really useful only if it can be integrated 
with the normal work flow, making it easier for users to encrypt 
messages than sending standard emails.
