Their marketing message is very weak. I love the message, but it could be done better.
Most people would never imagine online banking and shopping without encryption. Neither would the financial institutions or the stores.
However, widespread use of encryption seems to come to an end there.
I thought differently about this in the past, but today I wonder if widespread encryption for the mass market would weaken their own security. Sending someone an encrypted message does not protect that message if the receiver passes it along on unencrypted channels.
The rumor of Wikileaks collecting a good deal of secret documents through Tor nodes makes one wonder if even few of the "elite" really understand security and encryption.
I would like encryption to be mandatory. I would like to not have to avoid public Wifi for concern of being hacked. I want to be able to send my employees server credentials via email.
I think we will move in that direction, and the big companies will be responsible.
