Safety.....get An Elite Of Hush Acct

[HappyScrappy]

actually 128 is still hard enough to break - look at http://www.distributed.net

They're working at 64bit and they have been working on it since 1998 and are only about halfway through now.
Tehy beat 56 bit, but it is exponentially harder as you go up - so 128 bit isn't just 2 times as hard as 64

--but the point is still that that is how they encrypt on their server - when they send it outside, it is still plain text - hush is encrypted ONLY on the server - so if you send it to another hush user, it stays encrypted, but if you send it outside, it is plaintext b/c the person would have no way of decrypting it...

Heres a quick rundown of what happens when you send email... its off the top of my head, if i come across and actual report, ill post it.

When you send an email it travels across the internet and is rerouted to the recipient via many servers. Each stop at a server saves a copy of the email before its sent to the next server. There is no telling how long the copy of your email will stay on that server. Anyone with the knowledge can also trace the route of your email through the IP addresses of the servers that rerouted it.

When you send an encrypted email, your email is encrypted, so all those copies of your emails that get saved while being rerouted are just a jumbled mess that can only be unlocked with two keys, yours and the person you sent it to. This only works with hushmail to hushmail or ziplip to ziplip since there is no way for hushmail to set a key for a recipient that isnt on their own system. Ziplip allows you to create a password and send a self decrypting email to a non ziplip client. Passwords can be broken, but in general, any 8 digit or longer password with a punctuation mark would take months to break on the fastest machines.

Remember, all those secure sites are only secure within their system. A hushmail sent to a ziplip address is sent as plain text and not encrypted. Thats why I have addresses at most of the secure sites and use them accordingly. If im emailing someone with hushmail i use hushmail, ziplip uses ziplip, etc...

BTW, 128bit encryption is so secure that the government tried (unsuccessfully) to have it banned and it is illegal to export the encryption technology (PGP) outside of the united states.

Conan69, thanks for the heads up. I had no idea the subject line wasn't secure so I am glad you pointed this out.

Keep 'em coming

Hey happyscrappy, did you verify that the subject line is not encrypeted? My source asked me to put my order in the suject line last week! Do you think it is a set up?
