How to send bank details by email?
I have completed my internship and my employer wants me to send him my bank account details so that he can transfer my stipend. How can I securely do this? I have Ubuntu MATE 16.04. My employer is not that tech savvy. He would be fine with emails and password protected zip file/google drive text file but telling him to set up pgp/gpg would be too much.
The answer to your question - how to send bank details by email is - Your bank account details are private information, but not secret. I still use bank checks, which contain that information and have no problem with that. And it is common to exchange bank details with clients or providers through simple unencrypted emails. The security level must be what is required by the risk. You should never publish bank details on Facebook or a public web site, but sending them by mail to a specific recipient is fine. If you think that it deserves more security, you are on your own, provided your employer accepts it. IMHO, an encrypted zip file should be enough.
