ne
new email service promising "end-to-end" encryption launched on Friday,
and others are being developed while major services such as Google
Gmail and Yahoo Mail have stepped up security measures.A major
catalyst for email encryption were revelations about widespread online
surveillance in documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor."A lot of people were upset with those
revelations, and that coalesced into this effort," said Jason Stockman,
a co-developer of ProtonMail, a new encrypted email service which
launched Friday with collaboration of scientists from Harvard, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the European research lab
CERN.Stockman said ProtonMail aims to be as user-friendly as the
major commercial services, but with extra security, and with its servers
located in Switzerland to make it more difficult for US law enforcement
to access.
