"TechWeb Report" March 16 news, according to foreign media reports, Yahoo Chief information Security Officer Alex Stamos (Alex Stamos) Sunday show the company's latest encrypted e-mail services. The email service will completely encrypt the email contacts between the sender and the recipient, but Yahoo can still be aware of the relevant data, such as the number of receipts, delivery time, subject and so on.
In the past, the free mailbox service used SSL technology to provide users with encryption services, but the e-mail provider can know the user's all encrypted content. Through terminal-terminal encryption, which is the encryption technology used in the email service that Yahoo is about to launch at the end of the year, all email messages from users and recipients will be completely locked, with only two parties having the right to enter and open.
"At Yahoo, our goal is to create a product that is both safe and trustworthy," Stamos told the Wall Street Journal in an interview. This means that the tool is easy to operate for the average user and protects the user's privacy from attack. ”
For Yahoo, its email service was launched earlier than other competitors, and the technology used in its services was older. "Email is one of the cornerstones of Yahoo, and through this service we have a lot of loyal and dedicated Yahoo users." Stamos added. (Yimu)
