<h2>FAQ</h2>
<div class="faq">
<ul>
<li><div class="question">Why is Mailiverse different from all the other web mail services?</div>
<div class="answer">
After mail has been received, encrypted and relayed to your store, Mailiverse <b>cannot</b> read your mail. 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.
