Privacy Innovators

Silent Circle and Lavabit are developing a new way to do email with end-to-end encryption. We welcome like-minded organizations to join our alliance.

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.

Might be relevant, new article critiquing some of the practices of the original Lavabit:

http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/11/op-ed-a-critique-of-lavabit/

"Op-ed: Lavabit’s primary security claim wasn’t actually true Ladar Levison stood up for users' privacy—but perhaps a little too late."

Also, one thing I found while reading the comments was ThreadThat.  Has anyone used/heard of this service?

A big problem is that with say 12 layers to the internet, it's gonna be REAL hard for even average techies like me to figure out "where the trust is". xkcd's Wrench Solution comes to mind. Those forces at the gates are getting bolder, and one day, someone has the info, and will break.
