About Encrypted-Mail |
The Encrypted-Mail Solution |
Encrypted-Mail is a Web-based e-mail service that lets you send and receive email in total security. Encrypted-Mail messages, and their attachments, are encrypted using Open PGP standard algorithms. These algorithms, combined with Encrypted-Mail's unique key management system, offer users unrivalled levels of security. Encrypted-Mail's security is end-to-end; messages are encrypted before leaving the sender's computer and remain encrypted until after they arrive on the recipient's machine, where the contents are automatically decrypted.
Encrypted-Mail's encryption works automatically, transparently and seamlessly, requiring no specialized computer skills or knowledge. Encrypting a message is as simple as clicking a mouse.

The Problem with Unsafe Mail |
Too many Internet users assume that all electronic information is safe from prying eyes. They could not be more wrong. All electronic messages are sent through a system of routers and servers. At points along this path, email messages are logged and may even be stored on backup tapes that are kept for years. These processing and storage points are the weak links in the chain, for this is where your messages, business transactions or credit card numbers can potentially be retrieved, read and misused. Every time you send email, you trust your messages and privacy to nameless and faceless individuals or organizations that frequently have no guidelines and no concerns for your privacy or security.
A typical clear text e-mail message is no more secure than a holiday postcard sent through the public postal system.
By contrast, Encrypted-Mail keeps your online communications private and secure. Not even an Encrypted-Mail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted email, since each message is uniquely encoded before it leaves your computer. An Encrypted-Mail account lets you communicate in total security with any other Encrypted-Mail or Hush Encryption Engine email member, anywhere else in the world. |

Unique Privacy Solution |
Most other email security systems offer a pale imitation of safe communication. Only Encrypted-Mail provides such a high level of security combined with total ease of use. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a current Web browser. Just sign up for a free Encrypted-Mail address, create a passphrase, and login to your account to begin. You'll immediately be able to communicate securely with other Encrypted-Mail or Hush Encryption Engine email users, and you can access your Encrypted-Mail account from anywhere in the world.

Carnivore |
Carnivore is information-gathering software created by the FBI to combat criminals who utilize the Internet. Carnivore is housed in a computer that connects to your Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) servers and mines all incoming and outgoing mail for information. The FBI intends to use the software to locate and monitor specific email addresses for evidence of criminal activity. In the process of monitoring any account, Carnivore must sift through all available account information on a given server. The objection many privacy advocates, legislators, and the general public have with Carnivore is that the net it casts is too wide. The FBI would have the ability to look through the accounts and email of people not suspected or charged with any crime. Further, the public would have no protection or knowledge of unlawful or accidental seizures of account information. Basically, you have to trust the FBI not to invade your privacy.
Encrypted-Mail's security cannot be broken or weakened by this government sponsored snooping software. Encrypted-Mail's security system is a lot like a circuit, when one Encrypted-Mail user communicates with another Encrypted-Mail user, the circuit is complete and the mail they send is completely safe. To anyone other than the sender or the recipient of a Encrypted-Mail message, email appears as a jumble of numbers and letters. It is completely illegible. The only way to decrypt or unscramble Encrypted-Mail messages is by using your passphrase when you open up your Encrypted-Mail account. Carnivore cannot decrypt your mail, and is therefore, powerless against messages sent between Encrypted-Mail users. |
