## Abstract

A method and system for enabling secured communication is provided herein. A communication and recipient information of the communication is received by a processor. The recipient information is selection of at least one recipient from a group of recipients. Selection of at least one privacy preference from a set of privacy preferences associated with the communication is received. An encrypted communication is generated by encrypting the communication using at least one encryption algorithm based on the at least one privacy preference. A decrypted communication is rendered on at least one corresponding output device associated with the each of the group of recipients by selectively decrypting the encrypted communication using at least one decryption algorithm based on the at least one privacy preference and the recipient information.
