Free end to end encrypted email service

ProtonMail is an end to end encrypted email service, developed in and based out of Switzerland.

Features

After running a successful crowd-funding campaign, ProtonMail gradually brought their product to market and it is now available for all users on platforms such as Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS. The base service is free and anyone can sign up for a personal account. ProtonMail also offers a number of upgrades for small to medium businesses and now offers custom addresses for business customers also. While the service was initially quite barebones, the team behind ProtonMail have put a lot of work into incrementally making their service much more user-friendly and inviting over the past year.

Conclusion

The aim of the company was to provide an effectively encrypted service in the wake of multiple security breaches for bigger email providers and revelations about the actions of national security services around the globe. The brains behind the organisation are a team of CERN employees who are dedicated to providing the best technical product as well as the most secure. If you're interested in trying out their product you can sign up at the website below and begin using it for free today. When it was first released, there was some issue taken with the lack of a proper mobile app, but having implemented that in the last twelve months, they gone from strength to strength.
