PrivateSky is protected by the first HTML5 2 factor authentication solution, SkyPin, using elliptic curve cryptography that requires no browser plugin and nothing more from the user other than their email address (as login) and 4 digit pin.
SkyPin makes up part of Incognito Keys, the other part being SkyKey, our integrated identity based encryption key management solution which powers PrivateSky. Incognito Keys does what no other encrypted messaging service can do; guarantees that we CAN'T SEE YOUR DATA. PrivateSky has absolutely no way to physically comply with requests to decrypt information in the PrivateSky platform. No Hushmail leaks of information. Absolutely no backdoors.
The company behind PrivateSky is CertiVox. We're the people that produce the MIRACL open source cryptographic library, used by hundreds of organisations large and small to protect their information assets. Our chief cryptographer is Dr. Michael Scott, one of the pioneers in elliptic curve cryptography. PrivateSky utilises a number of advancements in the field, and...well, we think it's cool, cryptographically speaking. It's also really easy to use. Most importantly, we are completely transparent about how we do what we do, cryptographically speaking. Unless these other services are declaritive about how they implement their security methods, it's security by obscurity. We invite you to read our white paper on the www.privatesky.me site. You don't have to sign up or give us your information in order to access this.
We just launched our global beta so PrivateSky is now publicly available to all. PrivateSky will always remain free, even after we come out of beta period. Please help us; sign up for your own account, use the service, and give us feedback to make us better. We would really appreciate it!
Cheers, Team CertiVox
