i agree with you. you cannot trust yahoo on good crypto because they are a commercial dot com, the thing is they have huge databases with your data on it and they are willing to give it away for a few dollars, that's how all the spammers in the world send their carp to yahoo, now imagine how they store you keys!!! oh man, super storage!!!
no one will tell you because "security by secrecy" is the best. dah!!!!!
theyu won't tell you because then you'll be able to see how crapy their implementations are and how unsecure their encryption is!
BRAVO!
some that speaks with his brain other than his butt!
people, do you want encrypted mail, go to the old pgp or any similar and good strong crypto program and encrypt the text before writing it on the mail.
while you might be right when you talk about normal email client being better that http based email for handling encrypted mail you have to nuts if you use microcrap outlook. Please tell me you are NOT using it....
what virus do you want to have today?
finally, someone with some brain left!
just read what this guy wrote, it makes sense, if you want privacy don't go to yahoo, or hotmail or any of those crapy html based systems
yeah right.... with that name?!!!!!
"myrealbox"? for crying out loud, i wouldn't trust a spam to go through that server!
what are you? microcrap? "My mail" "my super computer" "my stupid way of seing things"
Come on, are you real programmers? if you work on any hi-tek company that trade on NYSE you are going to be expending the next lifetime at the office, no rest ever comes to you!!!
so whoever wrote that article: get a new job!
after reading the article (and follow ups) on yahoo's pray for encrypted mail i can only laugh.
yahoo is routing mail through a third party to get encryption? i think Big Brother (namely carnivore) will love this one. HTML based mail CANNOT be encrypted properly, dot. Even Hushmail with all the SUPER_JAVA thing they created cannot protect emails.
you want privacy on emails? encrypt them with good old strong crypto programs, and even better, write the mail in a ascii text editor, encrypt it's contents and then copy and paste (too windoze huh?) the encrypted text into the html based mail. you can use PGP or several other GOOD programs running aroung in the net. If you want i have a program that i wrote that uses Twofish, it is a normal text editor with encryption capabilities, the plaintext never touches the hardisk or the clipboard. So far i have only a windoze copy but i almost finished a linux version also. email me to frahg@linuxfreemail.comif you want a copy.
