It's been almost three months since the closure of Lavabit. Everything, however, shows that the founder of Mrs. Levison it does not put it down. Today the lavabitand silent Circle announced that they are joining forces to start a new service the Dark mail. Η νέα υπηρεσία θα παρέχει ένα ασφαλές, κρυπτογραφημένο peer-to -peer σύστημα e-mail που θα είναι πολύ πιο ανθεκτικό στην εποπτεία της κάθε governments. They call it "Dark Mail Alliance. "
"We cannot trust the medianetwork any longer. just like we can't trust governments," Levison said in an interview with Mashable. "So we have to develop a new system that will be resistant to this kind of intervention."
The Dark Mail δεν θα εφαρμοστεί μόνο στις νέες ασφαλείς applications ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου της Silent Circle, αλλά θα προσφέρεται και σαν ένα open source λειτουργικό σύστημα που βασίζεται σε μια νέα αρχιτεκτονική πρωτοκόλλου ασφαλείας XMPP που αναπτύχθηκε από την Silent Circle και ονομάζεται SCIMP ( Silent Circle Instant Messaging Protocol).
The new email service Dark Mail is intended to bring us a new e-mail and not what we know. In theory, the providers (owners) will have neither the decryption keys to hand them over to the FBI and the NSA if they are ever asked.
The technical details will be published in a few weeks when everything is ready.
