Anonymous Encrypted Email with Gmail
Last night I was at the Beijing Tweetup and had an interesting conversation with Rebecca MacKinnon and Andrew Lih about NGO and journalist security needs, which got me thinking this morning - NGO’s and Journalists really need an easy-to use-security tool designed to provide them with 100% fail-proof anonymity and security - and MailCloak - our new encryption tool, is perfectly positioned to help them out.
Why is MailCloak positioned to help? Because MailCloak allows you to send email from Yahoo, MSN and Gmail, and protect your messages with strong encryption. Yahoo, MSN and Gmail - are these known for anonymity? Well, maybe they aren’t known for it, but they are great tool because you can create disposable email accounts freely and easily.
Here are the steps, most of which I have previously documented:
- Setup your proxy connection (and turn it on) to keep your IP address private when accessing services you wish to remain anonymous
- Create a new free, disposable Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or MSN Live Hotmail account. Remember, don’t use any real personal information.
- Download and install MailCloak on your computer, and have your contact do the same.
- Exchange public keys and test MailCloak by sending trivial messages to make sure they go through encrypted. Only send important information after testing the encryption.
That’s it!
