whats the preffered encrypted email account?
    #14246555 - 04/06/11 09:06 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

For some reason I'm beginning to think hushmail is the least preferred. Is it lavabit? What email do u guys use?

Gmail + gpg.

Seems like something like hushmail or other encrypted mail services might not be the best choice because mostly shady people use it.

^^ good call. hushmail and safemail are just honeypots for law enforcement. Use a provider that normal people use, and BE SURE to encrypt with gpg for privacy.

0.04 seconds on google. that's how much it took to find an answer. there it is, slapped as first and second result on your screen. maybe it'd be better giving up on your ops, what ya think?

For true security the people talking to each other must know the key correct?  Don't hosts like hushmail share a part of it to eliminate the need to establish a key with each person? 

There was a host in Switzerland that was recommended back when I was worried about this sort of thing.  Having the company be far away from the jurisdiction (or not normally serving them) is a good idea as well if you choose one of the easier hosts. 

Was it ever definitively established that hushmail has a back door or something to the java use?  I know that they can see everything if you or your contacts don't use the java app and login via https. 

Tor/Vidalia is pretty neat, and you can load it up on a USB flash drive.  It bounces you around a bunch of places so if you're really paranoid it may not hurt to use it with GPG.

They only need your public key to send you a message.  Knowing your public key does not allow anyone to decrypt the message, only encrypt it.

Lavabit + gpg is the ONLY way to go.

I looked at gpg and I can't find a version for Mac OS X 10.4.  GPG site only has a version for OS X 10.5 or higher... Does anyone know if there is an older version available?

How about pgp?  IS there a recommended version, preferably freeware version that is reliable?


Thanks.

Is there really much difference between a gpg and a pgp?
Also, Countermail is not such a bad alternative to hushmail, no?
Thought I heard it may be better to manually encrypt ur emails than letting the email service do that.

hushmail opened its accounts to the DEA over an old BEE that got caught.

best encryption is pgp on any email

GPG is the free implementation of PGP.

The older mac versions can be found here:

Thanks all.  I found a boss tutorial from someone on Mycotopia that gives step by step instructions for a tech-tard like me.  I'm 100% encrypted now.

There was a recent news article where google and facebook both admitted they would turn over data to the higher up simply upon being asked. I advise you don't use those. I recommend Lavabit, as I previously stated. Hushmail and Safemail are fedmail.
