	Hushmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hushmail is a free webmail service founded by Cliff Baltzley after leaving Ultimate Privacy.
		If public encryption keys are available to both recipient and sender (either both are Hushmail users or have uploaded PGP keys to the Hush keyserver), Hushmail can convey authenticated, encrypted messages in both directions.
		For recipients for whom no public key is available, Hushmail will allow a message to be encrypted by a password (with a password hint) and stored for pickup by the recipient, or the message can be sent in cleartext.

	CNN - Tack this on to Web e-mail security -- attachments - September 21, 1999
		HushMail, a free, fully-encrypted Web-based e-mail service that gets high marks from some computer privacy specialists, has posted an alpha version of its secure document delivery service on its Web site.
		HushMail came on the scene four months ago with a Web-based e-mail service that provides 1024-bit key encryption for messages.
		HushMail's "passphrase" generates a key on the company's servers in Canada, so that users can open encrypted messages without knowing the sender's key.

	Service2Client \| Hushmail Service

		Hushmail is a free web-based email service that is easy to use, and offers the utmost in encryption technology when communicating with other Hushmail users.
		HushMail's security is end-to-end, so 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 for the recipient to be able to read.

	Encrypt your mail
		What Hushmail does is encrypt the message at the sender's end using its 1024-bit cryptosystem, reducing it to a basically meaningless and unreadable form.
		Though, like any other Web-based email system, Hushmail can be used to send and receive messages to and from other email services, the encryption is meaningless if you send a message to, say, a Hotmail address.
		As of yet, Hushmail does not support file attachments, but the facility will be available as soon as certain security issues are sorted out.

	Wired News: Bulletproof Email for the Masses
		Hushmail, a Hotmail-style service, offers members the promise of near total privacy in their correspondence.
		Hushmail appeared mere hours after a US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the US government's restrictions on encryption were unconstitutional.
		But Hushmail's founders aren't as concerned with criminals as they are with securing funding for their venture -- which will be supported by advertising.

		The Hushmail site has a FAQ that details the few steps you and your contacts have to take to ensure that all public keys involved are accessible.
		Hushmail has no access to this phrase or to your unencrypted mail, so if you lose the phrase, you lose your mail forever.
		Hushmail's multiple spam controls should provide a reasonable solution, although some analysis-based filtering would have been nice.

	BW e.biz 8/10/99--Company Closeup: Getting Doctors and Lawyers to Pay HushMail
		HushMail marketing vice-president Jon Gilliam says the growth potential for encryption as a privacy tool is huge.
		But HushMail executives say their crypto is stronger and doesn't require users to download bulky pieces of software.
		For good measure, Hushmail's service agreement includes a clause that asks users to "comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations and...agree to not use Hushmail for illegal purposes." That's no guarantee users will comply, but Meehan says that so far, authorities have been mum.

		They use a Geiger counter to measure background radiation, and based on the number generated at any given moment, create a one-time key code that is sealed in foil and glass to be used by NORAD and the President to launch nuclear missiles.
		Software generated numbers, however, are not, and only time will tell how well HushMail’s PGP keys stand up to cracking, but suffice it to say, you don’t have to worry about it, because probability is more or less on your side that you will not be hacked.
		Hushmail features a miniscule 2Mb storage space, and puts ads on your emails; there are ads everywhere.

	HushMail
		When you generate your HushMail keys, you download a Java applet, but before you use it, you are shown a series of signatures etc, in a separate window with no easy means of saving.
		HushMail is a web-based encrypted email service that uses a downloaded Java applet to encrypt and decrypt email in your browser.
		And for all you Macintosh fans (such as myself), assuming you are current with Apple's software updates, HushMail now works with Safari on Mac OS X. I do not envisage HushMail as a serious alternative to PGP, rather as a complement for those tricky situations when it is not possible to use PGP.

	Hushmail hit by DNS attack - Xatrix Security
		Hush Communications said hackers changed Hushmail's DNS records after "compromising the security" of its domain registrar (Network Solutions).
		These changes were undone after a few hours on Sunday and normal Hushmail services have now been restored.
		Hush Communications said Hushmail users should be careful to make sure they are on its secure web page before they enter their pass phrase.

	Real World Patterns of Failure in Anonymity Systems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		HushMail [06] takes this a stage further by providing a web-based store-and-forward site for end-to-end encrypted email traffic.
		What we have found in practice is that the vulnerabilities that can lead to pseudonymity compromise are not found in the anonymization methods used for their communication channels, but in simple engineering issues overlooked by their designers, or inadvertent feature interactions.
		An obvious fix to this problem would be to hash a concatenation of the username and passphrase; or more classically [15] one could provide a "salt" value to be hashed in with the passphrase.

	Encrypted e-mail - comments by crypto-expert Bruce Schneier
		HushMail is basically a PGP or Secure Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)-like e-mail application that uses Java (although oddly enough, HushMail is not compatible with either).
		The sender logs on to the HushMail Web site and encrypts messages using a Java applet that is automatically downloaded onto his machine.
		Sure, you use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection between your computer and the HushMail server but if you don't actually check the details of the received certificate, you have no idea who you are connected to.

		Answer: Hushmail, like any company or individual, is legally bound to respond to court-issued subpoenas.
		hushmail uses AES encryption, which is pretty secure (as opposed to RSA, which is inherently insecure).
		The part you quoted there says that hushmail would only be able to provide the ciphertext, not the plaintext of your email.

		Once you register with HushMail, you're instructed to move your mouse around an on-screen box for about 15 seconds, prompting the program to create the encryption keys it will use to encode and decode mail.

	Julian Lewis MP 29/3/2001: on Hushmail(?), MI5 and subversion
		The security of HushMail encryption depends entirely upon the passphrase that is chosen.
		Disappointingly, the design is such that if access to HushMail's systems were possible (so that the hash of everyone's passphrase was available) then a single search would yield everyone who was using the tested-for passphrases.
		In my own view, the biggest flaw in the HushMail design is the way in which it enables and encourages traffic analysis...

		Hushmail has been upfront about the hacking attack, publishing a daily log with updates for users.

		HushMail currently uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm with a 1024-bit key, which is strong enough to keep most intruders at bay.
		When you send mail to non-HushMail accounts, HushMail can apply a digital signature to the message so that the recipient can verify the sender's identity by checking the message against the sender's public key, which is available on the Hushmail Web site.
		HushMail is pretty slick, and Blowfish is certainly a good encryption algorithm to use for protecting email.
