As wonderful and amazing that the Internet is, it can also be a little risky space. Fortunately, we rely on the plethora of security professionals who built the large number of privacy and security tools we use every day to help protect our digital lives. Encryption is by far the most widely used method as it is used to protect our digital communications activities everyday such as online shopping, banking and even file transfers. However, an essential form of communication used daily by almost all Internet users on the planet, has yet to use a happy ending at the end of encryption. If you have not already guessed, it is email.
Currently, to send and receive encrypted e-mail, users who want to communicate securely must exchange public keys. In short, you need to share your key with everyone you email. Unfortunately, this method is not suitable for everyday practical use. There are various tools on the market that allow a person to encrypt and send an email with success, but not one that is easy to use ... until now. Meet Dark Mail. Dark Mail is a collaborative effort led by Ladar Levinson, the creator and founder of lavabit. Lavabit is widely known to be an encrypted email provider who was recently arrested for protecting the privacy of its users to the NSA and the US government. Levinson recently told a crowd of more than 2,000 at DefCon Dark Mail is about six months to become reality.
Dark Mail, now called dark Internet Mail Environment, or DIME, is an ecosystem of electronic mail transfer protocols and DMAP DMTP, Magma and mail server based on Mozilla Thunderbird email client office called Volcano. When talking about DIME, Levinson said: "To a large extent, we are re-architecting email with DIME. There is a parallel system that is fully encrypted. "In a demo of Volcano mail client, Levinson introduced how to send an e-mail to a user with the unencrypted email entail a warning and a red flag next to the recipient name. That letter Dark will be the first solution encrypted messaging widely accepted by the public is unknown as other technology giants like Yahoo and Google are also working on a similar solution. one thing is certain, the one who breaks the code to enable end to end encrypted emails although a user-friendly application, it will be comforting to know that our privacy and security are protected even in our email box.
