Secured mail

Secured mail, also known as secure mail or tamper-evident mail, is a type of mail that is designed to prevent unauthorized access or tampering during transit. Here are some common types of secured mail:

  1. Tamper-Evident Envelopes: These envelopes have a special coating or strip that breaks or tears if someone tries to open or tamper with the envelope. This leaves a visible sign of tampering, indicating that the envelope has been compromised.
  2. Sealed Envelopes: These envelopes are sealed with a special adhesive or wax that makes it difficult to open or reseal the envelope without leaving evidence of tampering.
  3. Secure Packaging: This type of packaging uses specialized materials, such as tamper-evident tape or security bags, to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.
  4. Certified Mail: This type of mail is tracked and verified by the postal service, providing a record of delivery and receipt.
  5. Registered Mail: Similar to certified mail, registered mail is tracked and verified by the postal service, but it also provides additional security features, such as a signature upon delivery.
  6. Secure Mailboxes: Some mailboxes, such as those used by government agencies or financial institutions, are designed to be secure and tamper-proof.
  7. Digital Mail: With the rise of digital communication, digital mail or electronic mail (email) can also be considered a form of secured mail, as it is encrypted and protected by passwords or other security measures.

Secured mail is commonly used in situations where the contents of the mail are sensitive, valuable, or confidential, such as:
