If you are worried about what the government spooks are saying in the way of devastating disclosures about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs, Lavabit and Silent Circle's proposed secure email platform may help ease your worries.
Lavabit and Silent Circle announced the Dark Mail Alliance earlier this week at the Inbox Love conference. As an open platform designed for secure email, Dark Mail will be immune from future surveillance efforts, the companies said.
With Dark Mail, the companies hope to develop a "private, next-generation, end-to-end encrypted alternative" to email.
