Securing your emails:

  • For our company we use Google apps service. Though they are using SSL , TLS and point to point secure smtp (gmail to gmail) I wouldn’t trust these methods as they can be intercepted via in The Middle Attack MITM attacks.
  • For secure email service solution that benefits from a security conscious design and strong cryptography based on open standards S/MIME and OpenPGP. They also store all client data on a physical server bank in Switzerland go for kolabsys. For community edition of it go for Kolab. Another alternative Swiss based end to end , Fully Anonymous is Protonmail.
  • To have an end to end encryption and secure your emails or files sent through mail clients such as google apps go for here shareware or a free alternative is GPG4Win. For Iphone and IPAD use Opengp or iPGMail.
  • If you would like to integrate PGP with your webmail then go for Mailvelope.
  • To secure and encrypt Internet connection go for StealthWalker. To be anonymous you need to access the email within the Stealthwalker browser or use Tor Browser.
  • To encrypt emails at the gateway level go for Djigzo.
  • To easily encrypt files using web browser only go for Mini Lock.

 

Extra email utilities:

 

Untraceable emails:

First Method (Recommended):

  • Connect to any node via StealthWalker and launch Stealth Walker browser which is based on Tor network.
  • Register a new account with Yandex.
  • Send your email to the desired destination.
  • Never login to the account again using any other browser as the StealthWalker browser will never keep a trace of your online activities.

    •  

    Second Method:

    • Download Bundle and run it.
    • Use Yandex or Tor mail to create new account via Tor browser.
    • Send you email and close the Tor browser.

    As I mentioned earlier you should first secure you connection via vpn tool like StealthWalker.

    SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.
    Anonymity is when the assurance that the data collection cannot be traced back to the participant in the research project, completely anonymous.
    The man-in-the middle attack intercepts a communication between two systems. For example, in an http transaction the target is the TCP connection between client and server. Using different techniques, the attacker splits the original TCP connection into 2 new connections, one between the client and the attacker and the other between the attacker and the server, as shown in figure 1. Once the TCP connection is intercepted, the attacker acts as a proxy, being able to read, insert and modify the data in the intercepted communication.
    Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is referred to as cipher text.
    Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication.

    VPN is a network that is constructed by using public wires — usually the Internet — to connect to a private network, such as a company’s internal network. There are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data.
    Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.
