Their Threat Model describes both the threats ProtonMail is designed to guard against, and also the threats it is not designed to counter. ProtonMail was launched last week to the general public.
Knowledge sharing among this large academic community is essential in the scientific discourse and inspires many additional new ideas.

"Over 10,000 scientists from more than 100 different countries and 600 universities and institutes collaborate today with CERN. "CERN is a true hub for technological collaboration and it's an environment fostering entrepreneurship," says Giovanni Anelli, head of CERN's Knowledge Transfer group. "We would not be where we are today without the assistance of the over 300 CERN students and staff who offered to test our service, and the informal advice and feedback given to us by members of the CERN computer security team." "Our team met at CERN and early ProtonMail hackathons were held at the famous CERN Restaurant One," says Yen. But, it turns out that the core database, which has higher activity than others, was overloaded after the upgrade.
The software had passed the quality checks without any hiccups, before the main database was upgraded.
The idea for the company was born last summer in a CERN cafeteria where CERN physicists and engineers regularly share ideas over lunch or coffee. Proton says that it upgraded its servers that were running its core database to a new version on July 10th. So the team has no access to your messages, and as they cannot decrypt them, they cannot read them or share them with third parties. Proton was born in Switzerland in 2014 when a team of scientists who met at CERN (the. The end-to-end encryption means that when you send an email with ProtonMail, your data is already encrypted by the time it reaches the their servers. We believe a better world starts with privacy and digital freedom. De makers - voormalig onderzoekers van CERN - gaan er ook prat. "Access to user data is technically impossible because of the way we have implemented encryption." Het aanmaken van een mail-account kan anoniem en IP-adressen worden niet gelogd door ProtonMail. "The technology means that our email system does not allow us (or anyone else) to read user emails," says Yen. The service started being developed in 2013 by a group of CERN.
ProtonMail is a new service that provides encrypted email. ProtonMail provides end-to-end encryption, meaning that even the company itself can't even see the content of your messages.
Along with two of his CERN colleagues he recently co-founded a startup company called ProtonMail. Three young entrepreneurs inspired by their time at CERN have launched ProtonMail, a secure email service with a sophisticated encryption system to deter would-be spies.Ĭomputer scientist Andy Yen has been working at CERN since 2009 through his home institutes CalTech and Harvard University in the US.
