This means Mailiverse cannot profile you, cannot reveal information, cannot sell information. Mailiverse is here to provide you with a mail service, not mine data for advertising. </div> </li> <li><div class="question">Can people read my e-mail by snooping on the wifi?</div> <div class="answer"> No. No mail nor caches are <b>ever</b> transmitted so that others can read them. That's the whole point of this service. </div> </li> <li><div class="question">Can people read my e-mail by snooping on my computer?</div> <div class="answer"> Yes! Do not ever enter your password on a computer which potentially has a key logger. We cannot protect you if your computer has been compromised, nor if your keystrokes are monitored. </div> </li> <li><div class="question">Is there any way I can check that things are encrypted?</div> <div class="answer"> Open Chrome/IE/Firefox and turn on the respective debuggers. Watch the network requests which take place and read the contents of the responses. Trace through their respective decryption. </div> </li> <li><div class="question">How strong <b>is</b> this encryption?</div> <div class="answer"> We use 2048 bit RSA keys (RSA-AES-CBC-256-PKCS7) to encrypt your mail. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(algorithm)">Wikipedia:RSA</a>).<br/> We use AES-CBC-256-PKCS7 to encrypt caches. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard">Wikipedia:AES</a>). </div> </li> <li><div class="question">How is my mail encrypted?</div> <div class="answer"> When mail is received by the Mailiverse server it is encrypted with the your RSA Public Key. This keeps your mail so that only you can read it.<br/> </div> </li> <li><div class="question">How can I read my mail if it is encrypted?</div> <div class="answer"> When you login via the web, you authenticate with our server and receive your <b>encrypted</b> RSA Key block.<br/> You decrypt this key block and use the embedded keys to read and cache your mail - in javascript on the client - <b>no</b> server is involved.<br/> </div> </li> <li><div class="question">If a government or law enforcement agency asks Mailiverse for my e-mail will you give it to them?</div> <div class="answer"> Yes. Mailiverse will give them any information as required by law. But it doesn't matter. Here is why:<br/> Mailiverse's authentication scheme is setup in a way that Mailiverse cannot read your mail. Nor can anybody else. <p> That is the whole point of this service: no more profiling corporation, no more big brother. </div> </li> </div> Read the <a href="technical.html">technical version</a> for more details. <br/> <footer> <p>© Benith Inc. __THIS_YEAR__</p> </footer> </div> </body> </html>
