Elite Fitness Secure Encrypted Web-Based Email

It's a fact: Big Brother is watching your every move on the Web. So are the Feds, your Boss, and advertising agencies nationwide. And they are not only watching, but they are remembering everything you do. Whether you are aware of it or not, chances are that the Feds, your ISP, and many web sites you visit know lots about you. They know who you are, what you do, your likes and dislikes.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that as Americans, we have almost no privacy rights, and very limited means of protecting our personal information. So, until this changes, each of us needs to take precautions to protect ourselves. Fortunately, there are tools you can use to keep what you do online private -- think of them as your own personal "Get out of jail free card!" One such tool is our free secure encrypted EliteFitness.com stealth email and stealth file storage. It's one of the easiest things that you can do to protect your privacy -- and you get a cool web-based email address like YourName@elitefitness.com

Elite Fitness has partnered with Hush communications, creators of hushmail.com, to offer our subscribers free 2,048 bit end-to-end encryption -- the strongest available. And the mail servers are located overseas making them impervious to subpoena. The email system is very similar to hotmail, Yahoo mail, or hushmail except you get a cool email address like YourName@elitefitness.com. So if you go by BigRickRock on the elitefitness.com discussion boards, now your email address can be BigRickRock@elitefitness.com or anything else that you choose!

An account with 2megs of storage costs you nothing, but if you upgrade to a Premium EliteFitness.com stealth email account by midnight you get all of the following:

Just released, the latest version of Elite Fitness Premium Stealth Messaging has 45 megs of secure email and file storage. Communicate in complete secrecy with any elitefitness.com or hushmail.com email user -- using your own web-based elitefitness.com email address. And securely store your files overseas on 2048 bit encrypted servers -- get the evidence off your PC. Here's what it looks like:

The beauty of Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging is that its security cannot be broken or weakened by government sponsored snooping software - not even Carnivore. The Hush encryption engine powering Elite Fitness's security system is a lot like a circuit, when one Elite Fitness user communicates with another Elite Fitness or Hush user, the circuit is complete and the mail they send is completely safe. In fact, most of the moderators and senior members of our site, only accept email that originates from a secure elitefitness.com account.

To anyone other than the sender or the recipient of an Elite or Hush email, the message appears as a jumble of numbers and letters. It is completely illegible. The only way to decrypt or unscramble messages is by using your own passphrase when you open up your Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging account. Carnivore cannot decrypt your mail, and is therefore, powerless against messages sent between Elite and Hush users.

Every year thousands of people, lose their jobs, are arrested, and go to jail because of something as seemingly innocent as email. And unless you take precautions, it is very easy for the Feds or your boss to get your email and use it against you.

Brian Roper worked at Dow Chemical in Midland, Michigan, for 15 years. During his career as a head operator at one of Dow's plants, Roper said he rarely used email as part of his daily responsibilities. In fact, in his entire time at Dow, he sent seven emails, total.

But, an internal complaint to Dow management kicked off a company wide witch-hunt about alleged email abuse and Roper found himself among hundreds of employees accused of sending and receiving inappropriate email.

When the dust settled on Dow's investigation, Roper found himself among a group of 50 employees who were fired.

Dow claims Roper sent pornographic email to other employees. Roper admits he may have received some questionable material, but says he never sent those emails to other people.

"I had to sign a letter of guilt and lose all my union rights for 24 months," Roper explained. "If I didn't sign it, they'd terminate my career at Dow. And I refused to sign it because I was innocent." Roper said he is still shocked that he lost his job over a few emails.

Unfortunately, stories like this are increasingly common. Someone does not like you in the work place and your boss uses your email to terminate you. In fact, people have lost their jobs simply for sending emails that were not “work related.”

For the athlete or bodybuilder, the consequences of email can be much more serious.

Ever wonder how much leeway federal agents have when snooping through your e-mail or computer files?

The U.S. Department of Justice this week published new guidelines for police and prosecutors in cases involving computer crimes. And for privacy advocates like myself, things look bleak. The document includes a bevy of recent court cases and covers new topics such as encryption, and secret searches.

If you work for a corporation or nonprofit group, your boss can let the cops search your PC without a warrant. The law treats it as a "private search," and the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches doesn't apply.

If you work in a common area, rather than a separate office, be nice to your co-workers. They can legally give law enforcement the permission to search your computer.

However technically, the feds are not allowed to seize and impound your home computer. Instead, they are supposed to scroll through the hard drives and either print out or copy files.

But if your computer is an "instrumentality" of a crime -- if they claim it's being used to trade porn, for instance -- don't expect to see it anytime soon.

The Justice Department further wrote, "Off-site searches also may be necessary if agents have reason to believe that the computer has been 'booby trapped' by a savvy criminal."

"Technically adept users may know how to trip-wire their computers with self-destruct programs that could erase vital evidence if the system were examined by anyone other than an expert. In these cases, it is best to seize the equipment and permit an off-site expert to disarm the program before any search occurs."

"No knock" searches, where feds in riot gear toting M-16s break through your front door in the middle of the night, aren't going away. If anything, the Justice Department seems to think they are even more necessary when dealing with computer crimes. The DOJ manual says, "Technically adept computer hackers have been known to use 'hot keys,' computer programs that destroy evidence when a special button is pressed. If agents knock at the door to announce their search, the suspect can simply press the button and activate the program to destroy the evidence"

It doesn't end there: The Justice Department cites a 1997 case, Richards v. Wisconsin, in which the Supreme Court said agents can conduct a no knock search even if the judge granting the warrant didn't approve one. That's allowed when agents have a "reasonable suspicion" that the subject of the search could destroy evidence or obstruct the investigation.

The latest trend in law enforcement is secret searches. In these searches, law enforcement agents discreetly break into homes and offices without letting it be known.

In one recent secret-search case related to computers, the feds secretly entered the office of Nicodemo S. Scarfo, who allegedly ran a loan shark operation in north New Jersey. Once inside, they secretly installed software to “sniff” Scarfo's PGP passphrase so they could decrypt his communications.

Civil libertarians argue secret searches are unconstitutional. But the Justice department writes, "Sneak-and-peek searches may prove useful in searches for intangible computer data. For example, agents executing a sneak-and-peek warrant to search a computer may be able to enter a business after hours, search the computer, and then exit the business without leaving any sign that the search occurred."

The DOJ argues that secret searches are permissible, despite rule 41(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which requires agents to notify the person whose home or office has been broken into. To clear up any doubt, in mid-1999 the Justice Department proposed legislation that would let police obtain surreptitious warrants and "postpone" notifying the person whose property they entered for 30 days.

Under current law, anyone with access to the computer you use -- including your spouse, roommate, or employer -- can allow the feds to search it without a warrant.

And that’s not all; the FBI is using a new technology called Carnivore, which is likely to change privacy as we know it. Carnivore is information-gathering software created by the FBI to combat criminals who use the Internet. Carnivore is housed in a computer that connects to your Internet Service Provider's (ISP's) servers and mines all incoming and outgoing mail for information.

The FBI intends to use the software to locate and monitor SPECIFIC email addresses for evidence of criminal activity. However, in the process of monitoring a single account, Carnivore must sift through ALL available account information on a given server. The objection privacy advocates, legislators, and the general public have with Carnivore is that the net it casts is too wide. The FBI will have the ability to look through the accounts and email of people not suspected or charged with any crime. Further, the public would have no protection or knowledge of unlawful or accidental seizures of account information. Basically, you will have to trust the FBI not to invade your privacy.

Clearly, individual privacy rights are diminishing. And one of the easiest things that you can do to protect your privacy is to use web based encrypted email like Stealth Messaging from Elite Fitness.

Elite Fitness has partnered with Hush communications, creators of hushmail.com to offer our subscribers 2048 bit end-to-end encryption running through a JAVA applet. The email system is very similar to hotmail, Yahoo mail, or hushmail except you get a cool email address like YourName@elitefitness.com. So if you go by Big Rick Rock on the elitefitness.com discussion boards, now your email address can be BigRickRock@elitefitness.com or anything else that you choose!

The beauty of Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging is that its security cannot be broken or weakened by government sponsored snooping software – not even Carnivore. The Hush encryption engine powering Elite Fitness’s security system is a lot like a circuit, when one Elite Fitness user communicates with another Elite Fitness or Hush user, the circuit is complete and the mail they send is completely safe.

Remember, you do not need to understand any of the technical details like those above and those that follow to use the system! For all intent and purpose, your elitefitness.com email account will work just like any web based email account such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or hushmail.com. You will not need to know anything about “keys” to use the system. But unlike hotmail and yahoo mail, your messages will be secure and encrypted.

Here's why elitefitness.com email is the best choice for secure, private communications.

We are pleased to make this new product available to our Premium Account holders at no extra charge and in evaluation form to our standard users. This small program pops up when you receive new mail. The SMN will let you know how many messages there are and who the most recent one is from--login to your account is then just one click away.

The strength of the Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging system is reliant on the strength of your passphrase. In the following example, the passphrase is an English sentence, and includes both letters and numbers, increasing its strength. It is not a common phrase, includes capital letters twice -- once at the beginning and later in the middle of the phrase, as well as spaces and punctuation. This could be considered a strong passphrase - but don't use this one as your own, create one yourself that you can remember.

The more complex and detailed a passphrase is, the harder it is for anyone to crack or guess it. The only factor to consider when creating a passphrase is that you chooses something you will remember. If a passphrase is lost or forgotten, neither Elite Fitness nor Hush cannot retrieve it. It is you responsibility to remember your passphrase. This is for your own security, I repeat, no one will have access to your passphrase and therefore no one will have access to your Elite Fitness Email, not even us!

Never give your passphrase to anyone. Neither Elite Fitness nor Hush will ever request that you give us your passphrase. If you ever get email from anyone @elitefitness.com or @hushmail.com asking for your passphrase, it did not originate from these companies and should be reported immediately to postmaster@hushmail.com!

When choosing a passphrase, don't forget that you will have to type it every time you log into your Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging account. So make it easy to remember, but not impossibly long. And, don't forget to keep your passphrase in a safe place. If you forget your passphrase, we cannot retrieve it for you. It will be lost!

After signing up and logging into your Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging account, you can begin sending and receiving secure messages to correspondents at other elitefitness.com or hushmail.com email addresses. We strongly encourage everyone who participates on the Elite Fitness Discussion Boards to immediately obtain an email address that is the same as your discussion board name. That way, when communicating with each other, you can be 100% certain that your conversations are 100% private, secure, and encrypted.

Within Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging, you can create as many folders as needed to store mail or files -- right from your harddrive. This allows you to transfer old messages from the Inbox to a safe storage folder. To maximize the speed and efficiency of Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging, keep the Inbox as clear as possible. Creating folders to store messages, rather than leaving them in the Inbox, will allow new mail to load quickly.

The address feature allows you to create nicknames for all friends and correspondents. The nicknames are stored with corresponding addresses so you can use the store of nicknames instead of typing in addresses each time you send a message. When you select a nickname, Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging automatically addresses the email. Using the address book feature does not slow down the mailing process, since the address book is managed entirely within the Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging applet.

Elite Fitness Stealth Messaging gives you the ability to digitally sign your messages. A digital signature lets recipients of the message know exactly who has sent a particular message. This feature allows anyone receiving an Elite Fitness Stealth Message to verify with mathematical certainty that the message sent originated from the actual Elite Fitness account in the address line of his or her email program.

Remember, you do not need to understand any of the following to use the system! For all intent and purpose, your elitefitness.com email account will work just like any web based email account such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or hushmail.com. You will not need to know anything about “keys” to use the system. But unlike hotmail and yahoo mail, your messages will be secure.

The system uses the "Blowfish Algorithm" which is simply a name for a type of 2048-bit encryption method. The more technical definition of a Blowfish Algorithm adds that this particular algorithm is a symmetric block cipher with a 2048-bit key. When combined mathematically with a user's Elite Fitness passphrase, the Blowfish algorithm encrypts the user's private key. This occurs before the key is stored on the secure key server. The only thing that can decrypt the private key is a user's passphrase combined with the Blowfish algorithm.

Encryption is a mechanism designed to protect sensitive information. Encryption that protects digital information works by scrambling and encoding information so that the proper recipient is the only party who reads an email message.

2048 refers to the length in bits of the user's private key in the Elite Fitness public/private key cryptosystem. This private key is created from the random numbers generated with a user's mouse during address creation. The longer the private key is, the harder it is to guess, and so, the more secure the message. In public/private key encryption, 2048-bit keys are considered unbreakable with current technology.

The system uses a Java applet, which is a mini-program that exists inside a Web browser, like Netscape ™ or Internet Explorer ™. The Java applet that Elite will use allows email messages to be decrypted and encrypted before being sent to the Internet.

A protocol from Netscape Communications Corporation ™, which is designed to provide secure communications on the Internet. SSL is a protocol that encrypts data during its transfer from one point to another. Data is encrypted at point A, sent across a network, and decrypted at point B. If you send a message over SSL, it will arrive at the designated server, be decrypted, and remain there unprotected until taken off of the server.

Public/private key encryption is an encryption system in which a public key is used to encrypt data and a private key is required to decrypt the data. In public/private key encryption, keys must be long to protect against mathematical attacks. So, 2048-bit keys protect Elite Fitness users.

The public and private keys of our users are both stored on our servers. However, before the private key is stored on the servers, the private key is first encrypted on the individual user's machine by his or her passphrase, so even Elite Fitness employees cannot access user passphrases. So, do not forget your passphrase!

Remember, you do not need to understand this to use it! For all intent and purpose, your elitefitness.com email account will work just like any web based email account such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com, or hushmail.com. You will not need to know anything about “keys” to use the system. But unlike hotmail and yahoo mail, your messages will be secure.
