Dear customers.
since today Bitcoin.de has a new feature: we can send our automatic emails to you signed and encrypted. Since we send you a one-time-password for the login and ongoing information about your trades, this is not just a matter of privacy but also of security.
If you want to use this feature just go to options in your account and scroll down to the bottom. Here you have three options:
- neither sign nor encrypt
- sign
- sign and encrypt
If you let us sign our emails we attach a digital signature. It enables your system to identify if this email comes from us or from someone else. So you will recognize phishing-emails. To activate this option, you have to download our public key.
If you choose the third option we will further encrypt our emails so that only your system can read it and no-one else. To enable this option you have to upload your public PGP-key.
For those who are familiar with PGP-encryption this operation should be easily-done. For those who are not I suggest to invest five minute in a internet-recherche. If you use Thunderbird for emails, you can download the plugin enigmail. If you use your browser for emails you can download the plugin mailvelope as an example.
