History

In this section, you can review the history of every sent message, including the details such as who accessed the file, their IP address and location, if they used a proxy or not and much more.

The Sypher “History” section is comparable to the “Sent” folder of an email client, such as Gmail. In an email client, the “Sent” folder logs essential details about each message, including the recipient’s email address, subject, timestamp, and whether any attachments were included. Likewise, Sypher’s “History” interface works as a record, detailing relevant information such as the label, creation and expiration dates, status, the number of remaining opens, and more.

While the “Sent” folder is a place for reviewing past emails, Sypher’s “History” ensures a secure and transparent environment for monitoring encryption activities. Both tools have the same goal of providing users with accountability in their respective contexts, in addition to Send detailed capabilities for security including vpn, etc.
