1.0 Introduction-
(secure communication and encryption
technologies)
The strength of 1on1mail is not based upon a single technology, but upon
a total philosophy. A complete system for secure communication built around
a world-wide network of secure mail servers using tried and trusted encryption
technologies.
Within such a system, the technology and the topography play different roles,
each reinforcing the other, and make the whole greater than the sum of the
parts. The encryption technologies ensures that individual messages are
themselves kept private, while the topography, ensures that messages are
delivered, and protects the encryption technology by centralising the management
of crucial password and key information.
2.0 Client Security (Hammer and Anvil)
Protecting the mail in transit is only half of the story. Recently is has
become clear that mail stored on either a server or client programme can
be just as damming, as mail intercepted on-route. Clearly then, we need
to offer mail stored on the client, the same security that protects mail
in transit. 1on1mail is designed around the notion of total security, for
both stored mail, and mail in transit. Messages are ALWAYS kept in their
origin-encrypted form, and only decrypted prior to it being displayed. No
messages are ever stored in disk or memory cache. Of course, it is possible
for someone to take a photograph of the screen. But we have that situation
covered. If 1on1mail is left unattained for any length of time, every mail
message displayed is re-encrypted encrypted. Think of it as a mail specific
screen saver.
