SCHNEIER: I use an encrypted chat application like Signal. By and large, email security is out of our control
- dredmorbius 9y agoThat's pretty much been my conclusion, and whilst Schneier's confirmation is somewhat reassurring for my sanity, it's deeply troubling for any prospects for privacy. I'd really like to see a focused effort put forth on addressing the failures of email in a novel, and open, standard. After many decades of service, I'm largely convinced that no level of patching SMTP or the various hacks of message formats will be successful. And proprietary efforts are all but certain to be harmful.

- dredmorbius 9y agoThanks, though that's at best a very partial step. I'm looking at a more comprehensive rethinking.
