CryptoMail.org - Encrypted Email Software, Secure Email Software, Free Secure Email Service, GNU Open Source Software
Submitted by Omar Bickell on Sat, 2005-01-08 09:48.From their site....
CryptoMail.org devotes its energy to promote the freedom of private communications. By developing and distributing an end-to-end secure Email system under the GNU General Public License, we hope to inspire the most talented programmers around the world to help create a secure environment for people to exchange information over the Internet.
Objectives
The main objective of CryptoMail.org is to provide a community where programmers who share our vision, give the most accessible, reliable, and secure communications tools to people. We will focus on developing, distributing, maintaining and serving the most secure end-to-end Email system for the Internet community. We want everyone to access secure Email services, thus we develop an Email system that allows people to use or host the system on almost any computer and platform. We provide this secure Email system by ensuring two key security features:
Security at the Transport Level
All communications between the user and the server are done by a way of an encrypted session. This discourages eavesdroppers at the network layer.
End-to-End Message Security
Exchange of messages within our Email system employs a message layer encryption using a hybrid symmetric and public/private key scheme. This effectively prevents anyone from reading the contents of the message except the intended recipient.

FCABQ 2005: A new look
Submitted by Omar Bickell on Mon, 2005-01-31 14:32.This is a another Drupal theme that I developed. It is loosely based on some of the marketing material produced for the Fédération des centres d'action bénévoles du Québec by Kawabunga (i.e. the photos at top-right and the "l'action bénévole" logo).
Honestly, I don't find it nearly as nice as last years look/theme, but hey, you work with what you get.
Hushmail - PGP Compatible Secure Free Email - About
Submitted by Omar Bickell on Sat, 2005-01-08 09:57.It's essentially like encrypted Hotmail. From their site...
"Hushmail is a Web-based e-mail service that lets you send and receive email in total security. Hushmail messages, and their attachments, are encrypted using Open PGP standard algorithms. These algorithms, combined with Hushmail's unique key management system, offer users unrivalled levels of security. Hushmail's security is end-to-end; messages are encrypted before leaving the sender's computer and remain encrypted until after they arrive on the recipient's machine, where the contents are automatically decrypted.
Hushmail's encryption works automatically, transparently and seamlessly, requiring no specialized computer skills or knowledge.
