Lavabit and
Silent Circle are announcing a new project,
Dark Mail Alliance , a new secure communications project, which will be much more resistant to surveillance than current technology.
Our Mission
To bring the world our unique end-to-end encrypted protocol and architecture that is the 'next-generation' of private and secure email. As founding partners of The Dark Mail Alliance, both Silent Circle and Lavabit will work to bring other members into the alliance, assist them in implementing the new protocol and jointly work to proliferate the worlds first end-to-end encrypted 'Email 3.0' throughout the world's email providers. Our goal is to open source the protocol and architecture and help others implement this new technology to address privacy concerns against surveillance and back door threats of any kind.
Lavabit founder Ladar Levison
still faces legal action for ending his email service rather than accept government demands.
Onward and upward,
airforce
