There are several different secure asynchronous messaging protocols in existence or being worked on. The ones I'm aware of:
- Bitmessage (https://bitmessage.org https://bitmessage.org)
- Retroshare (http://retroshare.sourceforge.net http://retroshare.sourceforge.net)
- Pond (https://pond.imperialviolet.org https://pond.imperialviolet.org)
- onli 13y agoBitmessage is pretty neat. Have a look. And the community around it is capable enough to offer some nice services like a bm-mail-gateway [1] (and the software to host that yourself, if you want to). [1]: https://bitmessage.ch/ https://bitmessage.ch/
- junto 13y agoThe problem with all of these is that it needs a buy in from the biggest providers like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. With a wide consortium, working towards an open standard that didn't have any insecure backwards compatibility, was just as easy to use, was decentralised, and was open source for all to see, this could work. The beauty of such a move is that there would be a huge economic benefit, as companies across the globe would start building server and client software to sell to as massive growing market.
