This US-based cyber-security tech agency called ‘BlueRISC’ has launched an email service called ‘Electronic Privacy Circle’ EPRIVO for consumers, which it claims, leaves the latter with much more control on their communications.1 of them is where users can recall even sent secure emails anytime to make them vanish from all Cloud servers & recipient devices. Sending private emails just got a whole new definition.
In a press statement, it said EPRIVO introduces several new privacy controls, authentication, & encryption/confidentiality for each email. Users can privatize past emails from any email account.
EPRIVO emails, it says, are secured with physical & digital security to avoid digital vulnerabilities. It also does not store emails at all, & nobody has access to private email Content except the user. EPRIVO is available on both mobile & desktop platforms. Users can also access private emails using webmail as well as 3rd-party email clients with EPRIVO software.
“It is extremely difficult to make and keep emails private. Conventional emails are stored by multiple providers in the Cloud as part of the delivery protocol and are also controlled ultimately by the recipients. Monetization incentives by vendors drives for data-mining in the cloud, Cyber threats, insiders, consumers’ (senders and recipients) security habits, and hidden software vulnerabilities add further to this list,” said Csaba Andras Moritz, Founder & Chairman, BlueRISC Inc in the statement.
EPRIVO’s solution provides the following unique benefits:
- Consumers can use their existing email addresses from major email providers. There is no new email address to be created or handed out to receive private emails.
- Senders maintain & control privacy for each private email they send for the entire lifetime of emails, in both the Cloud as well as recipient devices.
- Consumers can also choose to make past emails private in their Inbox.
- Integrates with all platforms/devices and supports both email-client software & web-based email access.
Privacy features include Recall, One-time View, Time-based expiration, Privatized Sender & Subject lines, completely Privatized Metadata, etc.
EPRIVO’s private email solution uses physical separation in addition to digital security (encryption & authentication). The physical separation approach is a BlueRISC invention that simplifies security solutions in a way similar to blockchain; it enables unique security guarantees when the service is used with government-grade digital security. Physical separation, achieved through consumers’ own email accounts & Cloud providers, allows digital security implementations for email privacy management, which is all enacted in a way that is transparent to the end-user. Even if one or more of a user’s email passwords get compromised or someone breaks into one of the carriers, email privacy remains unaffected.
EPRIVO software is available on Apple App Stores & Google Play Store world-wide. Once the service trial period expires, various subscription plans are available.
