Encrypted Email Options

There's really only one way to ensure that your emails are kept confidential....encrypt them. The two most popular forms of email encryption are OpenPGP and S/MIME. Encryption scrambles your email into something unintelligible that only someone who has the correct digital "key" can read.

If you are located outside of the US (in a safe country) like some of our sources then using Gmail is not as risky as it would be for John Smith in BFE, Montana. The feds have shown over and over that they can easily access U.S. based non-encrypted email providers like Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail and Gmail.

So far, with the exception of Keptprivate, encrypted email providers located within the U.S. have successfully hidden behind their inability to crack their own encryption inorder to avoid cooperation with the Feds, but Congress may soon require social networks, VoIP, and Webmail providers to build in back doors that the FBI could tap for electronic surveillance purposes: http://www.informationweek.com/news/...ment/240000653 (http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/management/240000653)

The honest answer is that nothing is truly 100% secure. However, if you are a betting man, you can roll the dice on any provider located as far from the U.S. as possible. I like the below listed choices (especially s-mail because they are located in Russia):

countermail - server is in Sweden and you pay for use
mutemail- server is Bahamas and you pay for use
s-mail- server is in Russia and service is free
guardmail - server appears to be in Germany (but not positive) and service is free
ssl.mailvault - server is in Germany and service is free
anonymouspeech - server is in Panama and you pay for use



WARNING: cyber-rights.net and hushmail.com are two other free options located in Canada, but they MAY be working with the Feds.
Hushmail DID cooperate with the feds during ORD and should not be trusted.

Also, as of 12/2012, there have been multiple reports of safe-mail (server is in Israel) email accounts being hacked.



This list is not all inclusive, so feel free to add an encrypted email provider to this thread if you have another safe option.

I have been checking out s-mail and ssl. mailvault. The only thing is s-mail asks a million questions when you sign up and say they will delete the account if the info you give is false. I was alittle leary of that.

privatdemail. Based in Germany, servers in Egypt. They don't log your ip or store your mails on their servers after they've been downloaded to your pop3 client. Also they do not cooperate with law enforcement, especially the US.

Great info from another board. This is a great reply to a subscriber's questions and is similar to others I have seen from admin at securenym........

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>
> Your program may not send out personal info but does it collect it
> as in you know who signed up for your Service and the method you use

Your message was forwarded to me by one of our administrators. As one
of SecureNym's owners, I wanted to take the time to answer your
questions personally.

SecureNym has gateway servers in the US and our database servers are
located in Canada. We have a backup location, for emergencies, in
Nassau, Bahamas.

A government can certainly try to force us to provide information, as
can anyone else via legal proceedings. They do so all the time. Some
of the subpoenas are quashed immediately, due to errors or
incompetence. Those that survive the initial scrutiny from our
attorneys have not been a problem to date.

SecureNym, from day one ten years ago, chose a much different
security model than Hush. The whole premise of our security is that
we cannot be forced to reveal what we don't know. Ignorance is a
simple, and very reliable, defense that has served both our users and
us quite well.

We do NOT have any way of knowing who has what account. When a user
receives an account creation key, and enters it into our system, the
key is securely deleted BEFORE the user is directed to the account
creation page. Thus, the connection between an account key and a
specific account never exists. This is why we admonish users to be
sure to complete the process immediately, because otherwise we have
no way of recovering the key.

This means that it might be possible for someone to discover the
user's payment to SecureNym, via financial records at a credit card
company, but there is no way to prove that the account key was even
used, much less what account it might have been used to create. A
payment is circumstantial evidence, at very best.

Next, we have no way of recovering a password. SecureNym uses a
Catch-22 to make sure that we can't do so, and that no one else could
either. All passwords are encrypted and stored in our databases. The
decryption key is a cryptographic 'hash' of the account name and
the...... password. In short, you must know the password to decrypt
the password.

Your messages are all encrypted with that same cryptographic hash, on
the fly, as they arrive at our servers. The same rule applies; the
messages can be decrypted ONLY with the user's account name and password.

God knows, we've defended our security practices in countless legal
proceedings. So many that government agencies rarely bother trying
anymore. The fact is that our security protects us just as much as it
protects our users. If it were ever to be proven that we could access
the information we claim we can't, we'd face some very serious
contempt and perjury charges.

As a defense, ignorance must be absolutely demonstrable and provable.
Ours is, and has withstood legal scrutiny many times.

Hushmail gave up information that they should have never had, plain
and simple. Once you have it, you don't have much choice in the face
of a proper subpoena. And once it's been proven that you have
information, it's almost impossible to turn off the information tap
without being charged with obstruction of justice. The solution is to
NEVER have anything.

SecureNym was subpoenaed at exactly the same time as Hush was. We
fought the subpoena, and beat it, so it didn't get far, but Hush just
submitted. The agencies involved even tried to force us to change our
programming, to facilitate their efforts. That's illegal, by any
standard, so our attorneys were able to stop this before it got off
the ground.

We can only speculate as to why Hush chose not to fight for their
users, but they did not.

In the end, it comes down to the business objective. Hush wants to go
public one day, and has accepted money from venture capitalists
toward that end. This is a slippery slope, and once you step foot on
it, things can go downhill rather quickly.

Investors don't like controversy, such as is provided by fighting the
DOJ. This is evidenced by the fact that most public companies will
furnish anything the government wants, often without even a subpoena.
ATT, AOL, and countless others fall into this category of gutless wonders.

SecureNym has had ample opportunity to be either acquired or diluted
with money from investors, such as Microsoft. SecureNym is privately
owned, and is going to stay that way. There are three principals, two
Americans and one Canadian. We have never accepted investments from
anyone, nor will we, because the day we do, we start losing control
of our company, and our security.

When that happens, you can no longer give your users what they pay
you to provide.

I hope this helps answer your questions.

Importance of server location: server location generally shows the location at which the site server is actually situated. this location is very important because the website with the content prohibited by some countries can not be hosted in the states of u.s or also called onshore. This location can be found in the below table. The location of the server includes its hosting country, its city and also the country code of that country which is hosting this website. This data is important because the users and 3rd parties might want to see that where the server of the particular domain is situated. It also includes the latitudes and longitudes of the domain which can be used to find exact location through satellite.

Another good post I located on encrypted emails (Posted by Madbull @ VIP).....



I'm going to review a lot of the e-mail services I've seen people signing up for over the past year and go over them in depth with some facts and my opinions on them. If you are seriously interested in protecting your privacy by subscribing to a service, you should seek all of the following features: substantial amount of storage, a secure (SSL) connection, strong encryption for sending and storing messages (starting at your computer), no log keeping, offshore servers, and the option to sign-up and pay anonymously, without providing any personal information including a credit card number, phone number, or email address. Some services are web-based only, while others also offer POP /IMAP/SMTP access. Your first decision should be to determine if a web-based only solution will work for you, or if you will also require POP /IMAP/SMTP access. The cost of the services below range from $24 to $90 per year.
________________________________________

S-Mail

Hosting: Russia

Incorporation: Ireland

Noticeable Problems: Requires Java, JavaScript & Cookies

Cost: Standard: $24 per year. Premium: $42 per year.

Storage: Standard: 10 MB. Premium: 50 MB.

Pro: If your addressee is an S-Mail user, your message is sent encrypted. The service uses PGP encryption, digital signatures, SSL, POP /SMTP secure access, a virtual keyboard to enter your password, anti-spam filter, and offshore ( Ireland ) servers. Several offline payment options (in Euros) and several online payment options, including E-gold.

Con: The system logs everything and you can't send encrypted messages to non-S-Mail users. Tiny storage, several other limits applied, especially for the Standard service.
________________________________________

KeptPrivate

Hosting: USA

Incorporation: USA

Noticeable Problems: Onshore(subject to U.S. law)

Cost: $29.95 a year.

Storage: 100 MB.

Pro: Web interface, SSL (128-bit certificate), POP /IMAP/SMTP access over SSL, no logging of traffic or IP addresses, "Closed Loop" private messaging, "if you are using the Web email interface you can encrypt any messages in your inbox or folders with the Blowfish algorithm, [and] if you use the Eudora Internet Suite for Palm it supports POP 3 access over SSL." You can subscribe online or by mail and you can pay by money order.

Con: Onshore (subject to U.S. law), no message encryption from your computer, and you must provide an email address and phone number to subscribe.
________________________________________

AnonMail

Hosting: USA

Incorporation: USA

Noticeable Problems: Purchased by Hush mail (Need I say more?)

Cost: $29.99 per year. (IMAP access is an additional $14.99 per year.)

Storage: 32 MB (additional 32 MB available at $10 each, up to 128 MB total.)

Pro: Web-based, offshore servers (Germany), SSL encryption, anti-spam features, mail retrieval from external POP 3 accounts, unlimited email aliases, 2048-bit encryption with full OpenPGP support (including Twofish, 3 DES , and RIPEMD160), secure document storage, optional IMAP access, online and offline payment options, and you can pay with E-gold.

Con: Medium storage, but upgradeable. For those who missed it, it has been PURCHASED BY HUSHMAIL
________________________________________

SecureNym

Cost: Basic: $60 per year. Bonus: $90. (two accounts)

Storage: Basic: 50 MB. Bonus: 100 MB (total, 50 MB each)

Noticeable Problems: Onshore(subject to U.S. law)

"By installing PGP or an S/mime certificate on your computer, and uploading the public key to SecureNym, all messages in the mailbox are fully encrypted with a key that only the user can unlock. Even when messages are sent to a recipient that does not use PGP or S/mime, his reply will be fully encrypted with your key upon arrival at SecureNym. SecureNym never has your private key, so only you can decrypt a message." No logging of traffic or IP addresses. Will accept money orders.

Con: Onshore (subject to U.S. law), no message encryption available at your computer without PGP or a digital certificate, and medium storage.
________________________________________

Countermail

Cost: $25.00 per year.

Storage: 250MB

Noticeable Problems: Requires installation of a Java applet and Javascript

Pro: Decent storage, SSL with IMAP/ POP /SMTP access, web mail, supports OpenPGP encryption (with use of Java), 10 different aliases, offshore servers (Sweeden), hardware token authentication, Anonymous email headers

Con: Required usage of Java app, explained in more detail at bottom of page.
________________________________________

NeoMailbox

Cost: $49.95 per year.

Storage: 1 GB

Noticeable Problems: None noticed

Con: 200 MB per month data transfer quota, with more available at $10 per GB.
________________________________________

Safe-Mail.net

Cost: $25 per year. (Or free)

Storage: 75MB (3mb)

Hosting: Israel

Incorporation: Israel

The Problem: Israel. Israel's government, that is. That and Safe-Mail's privacy policy is laughable. NSA access allegations (which they deny NSA Controls SSL Email Hosting Services). Requires JavaScript upon initial signing in.

I'm not going to go into an in depth analysis of safe-mail as I promise you it has been compromised whether you believe it or not it is no longer a safe means for an e-mail. Just read there TOS.
________________________________________

All of the above services have strong anti-spam policies for users and most have limits on the number of recipients per email and/or the size of an email, including any attachments. Read the applicable Terms of Service for all of the details.

Onshore servers: KeptPrivate, SecureNym, and NeoMailbox.

Offshore servers: All of the rest, plus NeoMailbox.

Cost/Storage ($/MB): NeoMailbox: 0.07 (offshore) and 0.16 (onshore), Countermail: 0.10 KeptPrivate: 0.29, Safe-mail: 0.33 AnonMail: 0.94 (32 MB), SecureNym: 1.2 (Basic), S-Mail: 2.4 (Standard)

NeoMailbox is the bargain of the bunch for onshore or offshore servers. It offers everything: lots of storage, SSL, IMAP/ POP /SMTP access, web mail, OpenPGP encryption (with a free plug-in), spam ID, antivirus, unlimited disposable aliases, hardware token authentication. In addition, the 1 GB offshore server package not only includes secure (SSL) anonymous surfing, it is also the least expensive package of the bunch, on a $/MB basis. If you want it all, this deal is tough to beat. The fact there is no requirement of Java means that the user can stay truly anonymous to the provider.

To protect your privacy you should select offshore servers, pay with a money order or GoldMoney, sign-up anonymously, and insist on strong message encryption, in addition to an SSL connection. NeoMailbox offers all of the above.

Reasoning behind JavaScript being a problem: For those of us who like to do browse online with a proxy that is when the problem comes in. Certain codes used in JavaScript have been shown to trace the user back to their originating IP address using even the most sophisticated proxies and TOR. So you've been warned if you like to stay anonymous.

Gentlemen,

I received the following letter from the folks at Keptprivate.com when I inquired about their privacy policy. I posted this in another thread, but thought it deserves its own thread.

Hi,

I understand your concerns, but those statements are false. KeptPrivate
privacy has never been an issue. In order to somewhat prove the
statement i am making here, i will show you some simple logic.

2 keptprivate subscribers, send mail to each other, the message never
leaves our network, nor our servers. So unless they have some guys that
can teleport into our locked cages and steal our drives, no data is
going anywhere.

The examples could go more, but it's a simple question of logic. We do
comply with laws as well, BUT, unless we're facing some drug dealers, or
child porn, the privacy of our users stays the way it should stay. And
that is PRIVATE.

We don't know what other companies policies are regarding privacy, and i
am not going to comment that. At KeptPrivate we are focused on our
users, and their privacy.

I hope i answered your questions in a pleasant manner.

Tormail is a pain in the ass. The onion browser constantly goes down. If you have pending orders good luck getting your info.

Yea tormail seems to be down a lot. But the use can still use Tor for extra security when accessing your mail via web.

Gentlemen,

I received the following letter from the folks at Keptprivate.com when I inquired about their privacy policy. I posted this in another thread, but thought it deserves its own thread.

Hi,

I understand your concerns, but those statements are false. KeptPrivate
privacy has never been an issue. In order to somewhat prove the
statement i am making here, i will show you some simple logic.

2 keptprivate subscribers, send mail to each other, the message never
leaves our network, nor our servers. So unless they have some guys that
can teleport into our locked cages and steal our drives, no data is
going anywhere.

The examples could go more, but it's a simple question of logic. We do
comply with laws as well, BUT, unless we're facing some drug dealers, or
child porn, the privacy of our users stays the way it should stay. And
that is PRIVATE.

We don't know what other companies policies are regarding privacy, and i
am not going to comment that. At KeptPrivate we are focused on our
users, and their privacy.

I hope i answered your questions in a pleasant manner.
umm messages have to leave their servers in order to hit your system.......
the data is TRANSFERRED, like any data you view online through your isp.
I get what he means, but technically not accurate @ all.

Keptprivate servers are located in the U.S. so I would not touch them with PAIN's dick and blame it on GreenGorilla :)

I wouldn't use any service that is located in the U.S., Canada, Israel or any other country that likes to play tummy sticks with the U.S. Regardless of what the company says about how secure they are, they don't keep PWs, etc...

The Feds/Homeland, could own these companies and just waiting....

About Privnote Have you ever wanted to send confidential information within your work environment, to family or friends, but were afraid to do so over the internet, because some malicious hacker could be spying on you?
Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all.
Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the note will automatically self-destruct; which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore.
You can optionally choose to be notified when your note is read by leaving your email and a reference for the note.
