      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet f8dc45e0       PID: OpenXP/5.0.51 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500              I'm giving it a go. It's actually not too bad. It's almost        like Protonmail (they generate a key/pair in the background,        they claim the passphrase is never on the server, and the        messages and attachments are stored encrypted on their server.)        But unlike Protonmail, you operate the system with a standalone        DT program that they provide, and get to use your existing        email address of your choosing. (Protonmail creates an        @protonmail.com address for you). And, ofcourse there are        Android and iOS versions too.              Unlike Protonmail, there is no export of the keys to share or        adapt to another OpenGPG system.              You basically have to trust that all the security concerns on        the FAQ are legit.              They do however store the passphrase using a SHA-1 hashcode. I        thought SHA-1 was depricated. I wonder if that could be an        issue if their database of SHA-1 hashes ever leaked.              One neat thing about Safster is that it allows S)earches of the        messages that you retain on the system and in your folders.        You can organize your messages into folders.              Safester *is* different operationally. It doesn't use the        internet email system. Messages are only between client/server/        client.       --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Key ID = 0x5789589B (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/330       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 424 426 664 700 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/0 1 101 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 712/848       PATH: 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
