[HacktionLab] Own-Mailbox: Self hosted web mail PGP/ HTTPS

[Jim McTwanky]

"100% confidential", "100% secure"

"*Own-Mailbox allows you to send and receive 100% confidential messages
even with people who don't use email encryption yet.* For this purpose
we introduce PLM, a new technique that allows you to send a filtered and
temporary *HTTPS link* to your contacts. This link points to your
private message hosted on your Own-Mailbox."

So, it's relying on public key infrastructure i.e. putting it's trust in
a 3rd party the CA.

No such thing as 100% secure. This is nowhere near.

Cheers,

Jim
