ChiaraMail--The Only Consumer-ready Solution to Securing Your E-mail. 

The End of Spying. 

The End of Spoofing and Phishing. 

And much more.

PRIVACY AND SAFETY ARE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. Everyone in the world has the right to keep their communications private. Just as a piece of physical mail between two parties is private, so should be electronic mail. Likewise, everyone is entitled to protection from predators seeking to steal their property or their identities through spoofing and phishing attacks.

Two of the biggest dangers on the Internet are threats to our e-mail privacy and spoofing. Governments, both foreign and domestic, not to mention well-known tech companies, browse our mail on a regular basis, often without our knowledge or consent. Every week, it seems, brings new revelations of outrageous acts of surveillance. And cyber-terrorists, both state sponsored and others, are obtaining sensitive information, such as bank credentials, Social Security numbers and driver license numbers, through well-orchestrated phishing attacks initiated by e-mail spoofs. Even mail purportedly from a friend is suspect and reading it risks installing a worm or virus on our computers which could compromise security and lead to disastrous financial and data losses.

No government, mail provider, or any other person should have the ability to read your e-mail without your permission, period. You need to stand up for your rights and take action because today your e-mail IS being hacked.

Solutions to the threat of e-mail security generally take the form of end-to-end encryption, a complicated, inelegant process and one that is impractical for consumer use. As for spoofing detection and prevention, up until now, there has been no totally effective solution.

An Elegant Solution--Envelope-Content Splitting

These are issues that we at ChiaraMail have been working on for years. How do we keep your communications private without the hassle and weaknesses of encryption? How can we prevent phishing attacks arising from spoofing and originating anywhere? We invented a simple and elegant solution that we now want to bring to the world that not only secures all of your communications and restores your fundamental right to privacy, but that also protects you from all phishing attacks arising from e-mail address spoofing.

ChiaraMail is based on Envelope-Content Splitting, or ECS, a technology that can provide a highly-effective defense against both e-mail spying and phishing attacks. ECS works by removing, or splitting off, the message content from the mail headers and sending the content, via a secure link, to a content server. Thus, since the content is no longer part of the message, your mail service provider's servers do not have access to your content and end-to-end encryption becomes unnecessary. Furthermore, by using an innovative authentication process, would-be spoofers are stopped in their tracks, unable to deliver the mail content or files they need for a successful phishing attack. 



The ChiaraMail content server--More Secure than Google and ProtonMail

Qualys  SSL Labs is an independent company providing online server vulnerability testing. As part of their evaluation, Google received a security rating of "B", while the ChiaraMail servers received "A+". This validation of our server security by one of the top Internet security firms in the world is a result of our meticulous work at hardening the content server and we hope it assures our users and customers of the safety of their e-mail content.

As for ProtonMail, their security solution requires JavaScript and is inherently insecure (as pointed out in a review by BestVPN and by others). As ProtonMail themselves put it, 

"If you are Edward Snowden, or the next Edward Snowden, and have a life and death situation that requires privacy, we would not recommend using ProtonMail."

Something to think about.

ECS works with ALL your e-mail addresses

Some e-mail security solutions don't work with your usual e-mail addresses and make you use a special one for secure mail and your normal address for other types of messages. Not ChiaraMail. You can use ECS with any e-mail address that supports IMAP and SMTP: Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft, AOL... Just configure your mail accounts with an ECS-enabled mail client as you would with an ordinary e-mail program and begin immediately to enjoy all the benefits of this technology.

But there’s more…

Besides keeping your e-mail safe from eavesdroppers and thieves and protecting you from spoofing, ECS also enables you to keep control of your e-mail after you've sent it: change your content, delete it, even make it disappear several seconds after it had been read. Want to send large attachments directly to your recipients, without the hassle of first uploading them to a third-party cloud storage service, such as Dropbox or Google Drive? Yep, ECS lets you do that, too.

ChiaraMail for Android, available right now

ChiaraMail currently offers ECS via an Android client, which you can download for free from Google Play. ChiaraMail for Android is an easy-to-use, full-function, ECS-enabled mobile client and is intended to be the first weapon in our assault against cyber-terrorists and others bent on robbing you of your property and privacy. 

ECS Support for iOS, Windows, Mac OS and Beyond

With your help, we will be able to continue our work in making the Internet safe and secure for everyone. Your contribution will help pay for network costs, continued software development for other platforms and e-mail clients, including iOS, Mac OS, Windows, Mozilla Thunderbird and MS Outlook and enable us to get the word out to the rest of the world that the end has come for spoofers and privacy intrusion by governments and businesses. From people who are fighting for basic liberties to average citizens wishing to preserve their e-mail privacy and protect themselves from Internet scammers -- ChiaraMail is for you. For everyone. Help us bring e-mail into the 21st Century.
