[size=large]Builtin Automatic Encryption Plus Super-Safe Encryption[/size]
|
|
|
|
Full disclosure: The encryption Red Matrix uses per default is not absolutely waterproof. There [i]are[/i] known procedures to circumvent it. [i]But[/i] this takes a lot of effort and needs to be done individually for each channel. And to make this clear: Other services store your messages in plaintext, therefore we regard this approach as a [i]significant[/i] improvement for your privacy. Plus you are always free to use further encryption and password protection if you so desire.

To explain this in more detail:
|
|
|
|
- each channel has its key pair
|
|
- every non-public post is automatically encrypted
|
|
- optional password protected super-safe encryption (needs to be enabled in settings)
|
|
|
|
So what is the scope of security? Full disclosure: This might be great, but it is not perfect.
|
|
- every non-public post is automatically encrypted but persons who have access to the site's database and files [i]may[/i] be able to decrypt everything by usig these keys which obviously need to be stored on the server. To be clear: The encrypion keys are different for every channel and it is [i]quite an effort[/i] to do this. And again: Other services store your messages in plain text unencrypted. So this [i]is[/i] quite a significant win for your privacy.

So if you require super tight encryption enable ... and protect your posting with a password only you and the adressee(s) know. This way even people with access to the database and server ...
