Dark Mail is intended to be a new protocol.. not just a new Lavabit (which would mean, theoretically, that it could be point-to-point secure)
- eridius 13y agoAssuming you meant plain old POP/IMAP, then yes, I think that's the root problem.
- mattkrea 13y agoI meant SMTP as that is the protocol used between servers and that is where some encryption should really start.
- jcrites 13y agoIs there something to read about how Dark Mail will work? I'd be interested to contribute, help build an implementation, or add support in products I work on.
- MagicWishMonkey 13y agoThat's exactly the issue here, it's not possible to provide perfectly secure email without completely re-inventing email from the ground up, breaking compatibility with existing systems. Ladar NEVER made the claim that he re-invented email, the people here who say he misled people are out of their mind.
