- no one but you (or optionally your authorized staff) can intercept or read the information,
- the information is never stored insecurely anywhere
- the information cannot be modified without your knowledge
Why would this high level of security and privacy be necessary? There are many cases where they are essential; some of these include:

 Our sales staff has been asked this question countless times. It is a natural assumption that because SSL and TLS encryption of email (and web sites) requires use of an "SSL certificate", that one must buy an SSL certificate in order to use such a service. Fortunately, the answer is always

We’ll explain why.

With this said though, is there actually a difference between the two?
