Webmasterslookup launches Encrypted Messaging Service.

You want to send your girlfriend a message from the office and you'd rather
the IT guys weren't reading your e-mail. You're messaging a potential client
about the special offer you want to make and want to keep it a secret to
your competitors. These are just some examples when you might want to keep
your messages for yourself.



Why Encrypt your messages?

Encrypting a message keeps the contents of the message private by converting
it from readable text to scrambled text. An encrypted message can be read
only by recipients who have the private key to decrypt it. Encryption does
not make your data secure. Not using encryption, however, means that any
data in transit is as easy to read as a newspaper on your doorstep.
Encryption at least ensures that anyone who does read your messages has had
a hard time hacking it. The Webmasterslookup Encrypted Messaging Service
will help you with your encrypting messaging needs.

Issues you have to consider (I).
- The Encryted Messaging Service of Webmasterslookup is a Private Key
encryption system. Both parties share an encryption key, and the encryption
key is also the one used to decrypt the message. The difficulty is sharing
the key before you start encrypting the message - how do you safely transmit
that key? In this system however the key is not transmitted but present on
the internet. You only have to know which key to use.
- Cryptanalysis, or the process of attempting to read the encrypted message
without the key, is very much easier with modern computers than it has ever
been before. Modern computers are fast enough to allow for 'brute force'
methods of cryptanalysis - or using every possible key in turn until the
'plain text' version of the message is found. In this particular system
however the key can be a temporary key with only a short lifetime. This
makes it very hard to decrypt.
The longer the key, the longer it takes to use the 'brute force' method of
cryptanalysis - but it also makes the process of encrypting and decrypting
the message slower. Key length is very important to the security of the
encryption method - but the 'safe' key length changes every time CPU
manufacturers bring out a new processor.
You can choose your own key length in the Encrypted Messaging Service of
WebmastersLookup.

Wim,

Here are a couple of questions:

>Benefits.
> * Encryption is done by an unknown unusual method.


How do you know that this method is secure?

> * The message is encrypted and stored in our database. It is not sent by
> e-mail.


What makes your database trusted to the sender or recipient?

Also:
> * The receiver's e-mail address is the identifier, both users don't need a
> special account or membership.


This address may be spoofed - for example by the recipient's organisation
administrators, or by means of sending an e-mail from an SMTP server that
doesn't require authentication. I assume you then send an e-mail
confirmation back to the user - and this is cleartext, and can be
intercepted, correct?

Finally, you don't guarantee peer identity or integrity here - how do you
know the true identity of the sender, or wether the message has not been
modified in transit?
