Lavabit was closed. Lavaboom comes

You might remember her adventure of encrypted email Lavabit. If you are not one of those holding down facts, then let's remind you that this company was shut down under the pressure of the NSA to deliver the encryption keys.

Για την ιστορία, η Lavabit, ήταν μια ασφαλής ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου που υποτίθεται ότι χρησιμοποιούσε ο . After its closure, there were publications that wanted her collaboration with Silent Circle, to create a new secure e-mail service. The time came as today was announced that the first beta version of the service Lavaboom will be ready this week.

Lavaboom is a new company from Germany that aims to provide a secure email service.

Unlike Lavabit, which was a paid service, the Lavaboom offers ένα γραμματοκιβώτιο 500 MB, προστατευμένο με δρακόντεια μέτρα . Υπάρχει βέβαια επιπλέον χώρος αποθήκευσης για όσους το επιθυμούν, επί πληρωμή φυσικά. Η εταιρεία δέχεται πληρωμές με Paypal, ή ακόμα και μετρητά. Η πρώτη επιλογή δεν είναι και τόσο αξιόπιστη για την ασφάλεια, ενώ η επιλογή της πληρωμής με Bitcoin προσφέρει πλήρη ανωνυμία. Τα μετρητά μπορούν να αποσταλούν ταχυδρομικώς στο γραφείο της Lavaboom.

The new company offers end-to-end encryption, and wants to make it so simple that users do not need to make loops to be safe.

According to the company, it will not only offer control is two-factor like most email systems, but rather implements a different system of its own.

"Except key-pair and your password, we can send you a random code or you can use the OTP feature of a YubiKey. Or both. We recommend you to use YubiKey, ”the website states.

Taking into account the fact that Lavaboom was founded and operates in Germany, there is a good chance that it is a safe service and without interventions by the NSA. At the very least, the US secret service will not be able to require the company to disclose the SSL keys.
