Email should have end to end encryption via a peer to peer system.
* Problem with message encryption solved, as long as the OS is not compromised. I currently use GnuPG but very few of my friends do.

The "topic" of an email can be encrypted without problems. We still have the problem that a sniffer knows WHEN, HOW MUCH and with WHOM you communicate. Encrypting this information just for the next knot will make it harder for a sniffer. Also such a P2P email client could randomly send out stuff and connect with random other clients. Basically a special form of spam that gets ignored by the receiving client. The idea behind this "spam" would be to lower the singal/noise level.
- pyre 13y agoLike a Tor / Onion protocol for passing P2P messages?
- tiatia 13y agoYes. Like that. Plus random messages send to different users. Something like enforced SPAM that is marked as SPAM inside the encrypted message. Your Client can decrypt the messages and discard the SPAM automatically. Sometimes the client can even reply to such a SPAM message automatically. THis makes it easier to hide with WHO, HOW OFTEN and HOW MUCH you are communicating.
- pyre 13y agoI'm not sure that the SPAM messages are necessary. I don't think that you can do traffic analysis of this sort on Tor without compromising the local machine (you want to monitor) or something like >15% of the Tor routing network.
