So i found this app called AutonomyCentral by valeso.com and initially i thought that this would be no good since the encryption keys would be stored on the server and this would allow the creators to decrypt emails if asked by LE. Which is what happened at Hushmail if i remember correctly.
But then i found a feature where you can delete the keys off the server and store them locally which means you are in total control of who can access your emails since you are the only one with the keys to access them.
Im using this at the moment in a virtual XP machine, running in a truecrypt container with my keys and it seems like a great option, automatically encrypts/decrypts emails locally not server side and quite user friendly.
Just wondering if anyone else knows something about this that i don't or if there is a possibility of this not being secure in any way, since keys are stored physically on your local hard drive just as they would with any PGP software i cant see how it wouldn't be secure but i'm not as technically minded as some of you here.
Info and opinions appreciated :)
