- enables end-to-end security without the user having to trust a third party server or transport system.
- uses openly researched crypto algorithms.
- is Free Software and, as such, the implementation can be independently audited.
The next big user experience boost for email security would be the adoption of the STEED concept. Help us make it happen.
