Sending an unencrypted E-Mail is like posting a letter without an envelope. The information you receive and transmit can be routinely monitored, logged, analyzed and stored by third parties.
In addition to the basic human right to privacy, E-mail users must consider the importance of keeping business communications secure from rival organizations and should only send data in an encrypted format. The same concerns apply to the transmission of medical records, sensitive legal, military or personal information. Every time you send E-mail, you trust your messages and privacy to nameless and faceless individuals or organizations that frequently have no guidelines and no concerns for your privacy or security.
By contrast, StealthSurfer integrated Hushmail keeps your online communications private and secure. Not even a StealthSurfer or Hushmail employee with access to our servers can read your encrypted E-Mail, since each message is uniquely encoded. A StealthSurfer Hushmail account lets you communicate in total security with any other Hush member anywhere in the world.
StealthSurfer customers get free year of Hushmail Premium with all the extras - 250MB storage, desktop access using IMAP, and Hushmail for Outlook.
Hush E-Mail uses industry standard algorithms as specified by the Open PGP standard (RFC 2240) to ensure the security, privacy and authenticity of your E-Mail. With Hushmail, users need only create and remember their own passphrases, and the secure Hushmail server does the rest. Encryption and decryption are transparent to the user, making Hushmail the most user-friendly secure mail solution available. Through the Hush Encryption Engine™, the Hush key servers take care of Public/Private key exchange in a completely seamless fashion. When a user wishes to encrypt/decrypt data or verify/sign a signature, a connection is automatically made to a Hush Key Server to retrieve the necessary Public/Private Key.
