I'm trying out TutaNota (not the easiest to remember name :/) and they do encrypted email: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/tutanota-end-to-end-encrypted-email-rise,30077.html http://www.tomshardware.com/news/tutanota-end-to-end-encrypt...
Recipents basically receive a password from you in another channel (email, IM, phone convo, face to face) and can use it to decrypt the email from TutaNota when they receive it. I tried it out myself and the only clunky thing is that they load up their whole web app just to read one message, but it's kind of a clever piece of marketing because the web app works pretty well so the recipient who doesn't use encryption gets exposed to an interface that's just as easy to use as what they're used to.
For everyone using TutaNota, the decryption is transparent which definitely is encouraging.
I've seen some people sending around credit card info or social security info and forcing the intended recipient to use a password when receiving that info is a small price to pay for piece of mind. It's almost criminal to send signatures on documents and social security/credit card info in plain-text!
- Ricker 11y agoDidn't know about them before, looks interesting. I've managed to find their site - https://tutanota.com https://tutanota.com - even though I was searching for Tutanova (should have just used copy & paste. The name is indeed not easy to remember... A few questions remain: * How do they 'encrypt emails to anybody'? * Where do they encrypt - locally or on the server?
