Encryption codes have long been used by military personnel since Pre-Roman times, and learning to hide secret messages on deer skin hide always earned those early coders a hefty bag of gold in days gone by. Today governments are embedding those computer language “ones” and “zeroes” to facilitate secret communications between the CIA, FBI, and police organizations world-wide to protect data from breaches as information is moving between these organizations and from point A to B.
The encrypted, “coded” information travels the speed of light across computer networks between covert agencies, and now that cyber-crime has become a never ending threat to both personal and national security, the United States wants to keep this precious source code out of the hands of criminals or terrorist organizations that pose a threat.
In the UK and the states, law enforcement “geeks” are continually developing new ways to try and stay one step ahead of criminal and terrorist organizations. However, there exists a major hurdle in the safe transmission method or “algorithm” cryptologists have been working to clear; In essence, how to create a system that allows individuals or agencies to send completely anonymous email using the Internet gateway, without revealing the source or sender of the email.
In order to figure out how to do that, you have to start grasping the underlying principles of “cryptosystem” communications, and that can drive even the most patient and sophisticated scientists crazy. Just reading about a subject that is so specialized spawns the hidden world of one’s imagination where geeks like “Q” (Quartermaster), from the James Bond series of films, depicts the image of the classic technology “geek”…corduroy pants, thick glasses, lab coat and long face because of all the late night, pizza riddled work being done to keep the world safe.
This new breed of scientists exist in those never to be seen, secret, government laboratories located in the basements of the most prestigious Ivy League universities. These “cyber-scientists” write source code by hand, and stay up for days at a time working on solving the problems of the world. After spending three days living with them, observing them while researching this story it was obvious; these folks “rock”, their dedication to task is inspirational and from what this reporter has observed, they deserve every penny of the 6 figure salaries they command.
The real goal of these “crypto” superheroes is to continually find new, innovative solutions for transferring information and data from one private system, over a public Internet to another private system without the fear of detection or a breach in security. In short, finding a better way to defeat the criminals and terrorists and make the world a safer place for those charged with protecting us all. Every encryption geek coming out of Stanford and MIT for the last five years wants to be a part of the solution. But that’s all about to end, the search for the technology to do just that is over……
On April 29th of 2014, an 8th grade dropout from Seattle, while developing a prototype system to pitch to the CIA stumbled across an encryption method so ingenious that it has become the talk of cryptographers around the globe and has sparked a firestorm of controversy and activity around the subject of anonymous communications.
The website, esecrets.com, built by a Bellevue based geek takes the “crypto” science or anonymous thing to a whole new level. Esecrets.com and the technology behind its website offer absolutely anonymous email communication from one person to another.
Instead of working on how to keep the message private, the coder recognized the real priority for the CIA and for that matter any government was trying to hide the identity of the sender who might be “in the field of fire”. The developer reorganized and coded the software so that when the email is sent from the proprietary esecrets.com website the server dissolves the sender and content of the message as it is being sent, so the author of the message remains anonymous, private forever.
In short, anonymous email communication has arrived for the human race thanks to esecrets.com.
“It’s important to keep the contents of encrypted messages private, but even more critical is protecting the sender’s identity, which has always concerned CIA types charged with our national security,” said Mr. Fischer, who was the CEO of the words first design firm.
“Keeping the operative in the field’s identity anonymous is the most important aspect of covert secret communications, so we just took that technology and made it available to the public and as a result of this website anyone can log into esecrets.com and send an email to anyone in the world without the worry or fear that anyone will find out who sent it.” Fischer said at the Social Net conference this May in Honolulu, “In short, it will change the way humans communicate forever, and that’s maybe even bigger than the invention of the email itself”.
Imagine sending an anonymous email to your ex-boss or to the long-time love of your life and never having to worry that they would find out it was you that sent it. Esecrets.com is a “game changer”.
Esecrets.com allows people to log into the website, create an account, pay a buck for a credit, and using the websites powerful technology send a private, untraceable, anonymous email to as many as five recipients at once. The best part is that NO ONE, not even the best attorney armed with a court order, can ever find the account holder at esecrets.com that sent the email because it’s dissolved as it’s sent, it existed, well NEVER!
Now employees who are being harassed in the workplace can send an anonymous email to their boss and end the harassment. Concerned parents or friends can send an email to the school principal and report a bully to school officials. No repercussions, no mess.
Esecrets.com opens up endless doors of opportunity in the communications sector and it allows people who have been afraid to report crimes, bullying incidents, etc. to simply send an email to authorities without the fear of retaliation or retribution.
Fischer said, “It’s another tool humans can use to clean up society, and that makes us more accountable as a species”.
Esecrets.com is expected to launch December 1st, 2014.
