Re: Why everyone uses envelopes but few encrypt emails?

Who do you think you're kidding? You obviously work for this company. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the sole employee, as I can't imagine a company of significant size resorting to such deceptive marketing tactics. And for a security-related product, of all things. I need to trust my security software first and foremost, and with your pathetic attempt at deception you've squandered my trust before I even had a chance to look at the product.

I visited the web site anyway. I figured the product would be closed-source, but I thought there might at least be a rigorous design specification. I didn't find one. It seems rather likely to me, a priori, that you made a mistake somewhere in the design, if not the implementation. It happens to the best of them, except that the best of them submit their designs for peer review. For that matter, I see no reason to believe that EaSecure doesn't deliberately save a permanent record of every email sent through its service. Given the lack of ethics you've shown in your posting here, I can easily believe it does.

If you'd just posted a link here in good faith, I would have simply not used the software, but since you lied, I'm going to advise other people against using it if I have a chance, and I encourage others here to do the same.

You could win a little trust by using your real name. Are you Dr. Liu, by any chance?
