- zmanian 10y agoLavabit wasn't end to end encrypted. DarkMail will be.(Assuming it ever materializes)
- MichaelGG 10y agoDark Mail is not End-to-End either. Last I looked, it had varying levels of security. The most practical one, from what I saw, is analogous to current SMTP+TLS. It gets the keys from the "organization" (aka gmail or your mail server). Given that it is incompatible with SMTP, I don't see the point. Use Gmail, add PGP if you need it.
- akshatpradhan 10y agoWhat does end-to-end mean encrypted mean?
- oconnor663 10y agoIt means that if Alice sends a message to Bob, that message is encrypted with a key that only Bob (or Alice) knows. No server in between them can read the message, so the question of whether they trust the server doesn't matter very much.
