Title

Cyber-Rights.net :// Free, Secure & Private Email

Description

Following the introduction of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, security and privacy of communications has become a real concern for Internet users in the UK. Restrictive measures for intercepting all forms of communications are also included within the Council of Europe's CyberCrime Convention 2001 and therefore concerns for private communications extend to an international stage. For raising public awareness of these important policy issues and to encourage Internet users to use secure and encrypted communications, Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties (UK) decided to launch the Cyber-Rights.Net project based upon the Hushmail technology.

Both organisations are committed to the protection of private communications over the Internet. The project was fully supported by Hush Communications for an initial period of three months beginning from November 2000. During this time, any Internet users obtained free accounts through the http://www.cyber-rights.net website and started using secure web based e-mail. This initial period was extended and until November 2002 Cyber-Rights.Net offered completely free services to Internet users.

On 29 November, 2002, Cyber-Rights.Net project (http://www.cyber-rights.net) powered by the Hush Encryption engine™ has been re-launched by Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties (UK) in collaboration with Hush Communications. On that date, the Cyber-Rights.Net system has been upgraded successfully to Hush engine version 2.2. This up-to-date version of Hush uses industry standard algorithms as specified by the OpenPGP standard (RFC 2240) to ensure the security, privacy and authenticity of your email. With Cyber-Rights.Net mail, users need only create and remember their own passphrases, and the secure Hush server does the rest. Encryption and decryption are transparent to the user.
