Silent Circle, Lavabit Unite For 'Dark Mail' Encrypted Email Project

Posted by timothy on from the it's-so-spooky dept.

angry tapir writes "Two privacy-focused email providers have launched the Dark Mail Alliance, a project to engineer an email system with robust defenses against spying. Silent Circle and Lavabit abruptly halted their encrypted email services in August, saying they could no longer guarantee email would remain private after court actions against Lavabit, reportedly an email provider for NSA leaker Edward Snowden."

    It's going to be called 'LavaCircle'. And the whitepaper that's produced to explain it will include a lot of busy work and confusion, and the result will be locally encrypted/decrypted files.

    Then, when someone asks how that can actually be secure, Ladar will throw a tizzy and claim all our constitutional rights are being trampled on.
