Hushmail is a Web-based e-mail service that lets you send and receive email in security. Hushmail messages, and their attachments, are encrypted using Open PGP standard algorithms. These algorithms, combined with Hushmail's unique key management system, offer users powerful email security.
Hushmail's encryption works automatically, transparently and seamlessly, requiring no specialized computer skills or knowledge. Encrypting a message is as simple as clicking a mouse.
A typical clear text e-mail message is no more secure than a holiday postcard sent through the public postal system.
By contrast, Hushmail keeps your online communications private and secure, because the email remains encrypted in storage. A Hushmail account lets you communicate in security with any other Hush member anywhere else in the world.
Hushmail provides a high level of security combined with total ease of use. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a current Web browser. Just sign up for a free Hushmail address, create a passphrase, and login to your account to begin. You'll immediately be able to communicate securely with other Hush users, and you can access your Hushmail account from anywhere in the world.
