PrivaSphere - Using open source to fix rfc822 security

PrivaSphere AG, innovative Swiss provider of secure and authenticated messaging service and technology, is a laureate of the Swiss Technology Award.

What we do: Guarantee confidential delivery, relationship privacy, instant and easy use globally, misrouting protection; optionally also notarizing services, fulfilling corporate policies/compliance requirements

What we don't do: Provide a panacea to bring end-to-end encryption above the 1% threshold

After recapping on the mail protocols and discussing their weaknesses, we present our architecture, the open source tools employed and the challenges while employing these tools, and discuss the wish-list where we would hope open source to help even more, i.e. present some topics we are willing to sponsor as open source efforts (also on the MUA side).

This Talk will be held in German.
