As I understand it, Government people are supposed to use their own "secure email system" for classified communication  (Five Eyes).

Somehow, contractors and people outside the US Govenment (think:  Lockheed) communicate on their classified work with their government counterparts.  Maybe they are granted acess to the Gov system, maybe they have internal secure systems.  I haven't looked into this.  The point is, somehow it is done and there is a standard of quality there.

Now comes Hillary with her private email system.

Am I understanding the media reports correctly by reading into them that she was operating a consumer grade, CLEAR TEXT EMAIL system?  Or do we even know this level of detail on the matter.  For example, was there a signed certificate?  Was it SSL?  Etc.

Please explain, if this is known.
