“At Wednesday’s Inbox Loveconference held at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus, the founders of Lavabit and Silent Circle announced that they want to change the world of e-mail completely by putting privacy and security at its core. The two companies collaborated to create the DarkMail Alliance, a soon-to-be-formed non-profit organization that would be in charge of maintaining and organizing the open-source code for its new e-mail protocol. The new protocol will be based on Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, or XMPP, and it’s set to be released in mid-2014. The group will ditch the old Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, used for almost every bit of e-mail on the Internet.”
