Encryption Software Market Size, Development Status, Emerging Technologies, Future Plans and Trends by Forecast 2023 - Daily Research Chronicles

The popularity of encrypted email and messaging services has exploded in recent weeks amid protests against police brutality and racism and attempts from Congress to poke holes in it.

So maybe its time to brush up on the best ways to send an encrypted email.

Encrypted emails are a way for senders to ensure that their message is protected until it reaches the receiver. But, recently, several bills have popped up with the goal of making it easier for law enforcement to get access to encrypted emails.

The EARN IT Act and the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act have been criticized for aiming to force a back door to encrypted messages or making it easier for law enforcement to gain access to encrypted data.

The new proposed back doors potentially makes encrypted emails and other messages vulnerable to not only police, but also hackers.

Meanwhile, people have sought out ways to send encrypted messages to try and circumvent law enforcements surveillance of protests.

For now, encryption remains the safest way to protect emails from unwanted readers.

Here are the best third-party services to send encrypted emails.

This free encryption extension is available for most major email providers including Gmail and other Google Apps, Outlook, and Yahoo.

Once added, the encryption feature will appear in the email interface.

Mailvelope says on their site that even the email provider does not have access to encrypted emails through their service.

ProtonMail is one of the most popular encryption services that allows for end-to-end and PGP encryption. End-to-end encryption is a system commonly used on messaging applications which only allows for the communicators to see messages.

There are free and paid plans available on ProtonMail for Android and Apple products. There is also a browser version of ProtonMail.

There are additional features like two-step verification and phishing alerts. Phishing is a form of hacking that disguises emails as coming from a secure sender like a bank.

ProtonMail attaches to individual domains also so any person or businesses can encrypt their own emails.

Sendinc is a free platform that allows users to send encrypted emails directly on site.

While the Sendinc has an Outlook plug-in, the stand alone site is also good for users that want to send the occasional protected email.

The site looks like a form that requests users email address, recipient address, subject and message.

Tutanota is a niche email provider that claims to rival Gmail. The German-based company built automatic encryption directly into their service.

Pricing ranges from free to paid plans for larger businesses and storage spaces.

In addition to encrypted emails, Tutanota includes encrypted notes, calendar and cloud storage.

Hushmail is another email provider that encrypts emails at its core. Users can send an encrypted email by checking the Encrypted box below the subject line to a recipient of any email provider.

Like many of the other third-party encryption services Hushmail uses PGP encryption.

Also, the service provides two-step verification and encourages strong passwords on its site for added security.

MIT computer scientists created Preveil as a third-party plug-in for Gmail, Outlook and iOS email providers. The end-to-end encryption service is free with additional paid plans

An encryption toggle will appear at the bottom of the email interface once added.

Preveil also prevents phishing and other hacking attacks via email by not saving encryption keys. So if an email account is compromised, the encrypted emails remain protected.

Virtru is another plug-in for major email providers. The service is free for existing Gmail and Outlook users. Other customers can set up paid plans. Companies like Netflix use Virtru, according to their website.

The security service is based of off end-to-end encryption. Encryption covers emails as well as files.

With Twitter hackers, 10/10 vulnerabilities, and Cloudflare outages this week, thankfully ransomware has been pretty slow this week.

The biggest news is Orange confirming they were hit with a Nefilim ransomware attack and business customer's data being stolen. We also saw an interesting ransomware that utilizes the Age encryption tool.

Other than that, it has mostly been smaller attackers and new ransomware variants released.

Contributors and those who provided new ransomware information and stories this week include: @demonslay335, @VK_Intel, @struppigel, @malwrhunterteam, @fwosar, @BleepinComputer, @LawrenceAbrams, @Seifreed, @serghei, @DanielGallagher, @PolarToffee, @FourOctets, @jorntvdw, @Ionut_Ilascu, @malwareforme, @JakubKroustek, @xiaopao80087499, @fbgwls245, @Amigo_A_, @campuscodi, and @360TotalSec.

xiaopaofound a new Matrix Ransomware variant that appends the .AL8P extension and drops a ransom note namedReadme_AL8P.rtf.

dnwls0719 found a new FonixCrypter variant that appends the.XINOF extension.

A new and targeted ransomware named AgeLocker utilizes the 'Age' encryption tool created by a Google employee to encrypt victim's files.

Michael Gillespiefound a new STOP Ransomware variant that appends the .repl extension to encrypted files.

Jakub Kroustekfound two new variants of the Dharma Ransomware that append either the .data or .smpl extensionto encrypted files.

The data theft and name-and-shame tactics initiated by Maze in November 2019 and subsequently adopted by multiple other groups have blurred the line between ransomware attack and data breach.

Introduction

They say that those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. A salient factor in the defeat of Austria by Prussia in the 1866 Austro-Prussian war was the Prussian armys standardization of the (then) modern, rapid firing, bolt-action Dreyse needle-gun. In contrast, the Austrian army persisted with the use of outdated (slow-loading) muzzle-loading rifles. And so, Austria was out-gunned, leading to a disastrous battlefield performance. This is an important lesson in not adapting to modern technological improvements and one that is pertinent to encryption applications.

Its well-known that encryption algorithms rarely stand the test of time. This is partly because such algorithms are devised against a knowledge of the methods of attack and cryptanalysis that either exist or are envisaged at the time the algorithm is written. And so, as novel methods of attack are uncovered, hardware processing speeds increase and cryptanalysis develops, so too do encryption algorithms fall prey to new vulnerabilities.

There are many examples of outdated encryption algorithms, now considered dangerously obsolete. Some common examples are discussed here.

An algorithm is only as good as the testing it goes through in the field. It is often that insecurities inherent in an algorithm only become apparent after many years of use. Lets look at some examples.

Hashing is an umbrella term that encompasses methods used to encrypt data in a manner that cannot be reversed. Data passed through a hash algorithm produces a fixed size sequence of bytes, which should be unique for any data input. However, hashing is an insecure method.

Invented in 1991 by the famous cryptographer Ron Rivest, the hash algorithm MD5 was considered secure enough for most cryptographic purposes throughout the early 90s. Later, however, it was discovered to be totally (Read more...)

The proposed EARN IT Act set off a firestorm of controversy in privacy circles when it was introduced in early March. A new proposal makes its terms look tame and reasonable by comparison. Dubbed the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act of 2020, the new anti-encryption law would require that a backdoor be placed in nearly every electronic device that has at least 1 GB of memory and all encrypted services.

The bill is essentially the Armageddon scenario of a complete government ban on encryption that some privacy advocates have been fearing (and sounding alarms about) for years. However, the terms of the bill are so outlandish and impractical that it would appear to stand little real chance of going anywhere. When one considers that it is sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who was also one of the primary sponsors of the EARN IT Act, it begins to look more like an attempt to make the original proposal sound like a comparatively reasonable compromise.

The EARN IT anti-encryption law couched its calls for law enforcement backdoors in terms of the battle against child sex trafficking, and was not nearly as expansive as the new proposal. It was nevertheless widely criticized and rejected by privacy advocates due to its requirement that online platforms either grant law enforcement an encryption backdoor or lose legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 protects platforms from legal liability for user-generated content.

The bill did not propose this directly, however; it obscured its intent by simply requiring that platforms use law enforcement approved end-to-end encryption methods to maintain their Section 230 protections. The body that would determine that approval would be headed by Attorney General William Barr, who has vocally and repeatedly expressed a desire to have backdoors installed in all forms of end-to-end encryption, and would be disproportionately filled with law enforcement officials. The assumption that privacy advocates make is that any law enforcement approved encryption would have backdoors in it.

The new proposed anti-encryption law dispenses with any layers of plausible deniability. It simply calls for a law enforcement backdoor to be mandatory in any and all forms of encryption, in both hardware and software. Any sort of device that has at least 1 GB of storage capacity, even a simple handheld camera or MP3 player, would be required to have a means of government access built in. At the software end, everything from web browsers to cloud services would have to offer similar access.

Unlike the EARN IT Act, this bill is not bipartisan. In addition to Graham, two other Republican senators (Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee) back it. The terms would apply to any software publisher that has over a million users, or any hardware manufacturer that sells over a million units, in any single year since the start of 2016.

The bill is thus technically not looking to end all encryption entirely, but it is clearly trying to make it impossible for major hardware and software publishers like Apple, Facebook and Microsoft. Given that Googles Android and iOS devices dominate the phone landscape, it would effectively be impossible for an end user to get a phone that could avoid having a backdoor in it somewhere.

The terms of the bill would also make it much easier for courts to issue a court order allowing law enforcement to access the backdoor for the purpose of retrieving stored data. Any judge would be forced to issue the warrant so long as the law enforcement agency can demonstrate reasonable grounds to believe that accessing the backdoor would aid in execution of an existing search warrant.

The anti-encryption law would appear to apply to both domestic criminal cases and those of foreign national security.

The proposed anti-encryption law is likely to stall out not just due to the serious privacy concerns, but also because it would put an undue burden on the electronics and software publishing industries. All sorts of hardware would have to be physically redesigned to enable such a backdoor, and apps would have to be re-engineered. Any new app or piece of software being developed would have to consider the possibility of creating a backdoor if it is anticipated that it will have over a million users.

The anti-encryption law does not make any allowance for the fact that any backdoor could potentially be exploited by parties other than the government. If it is technically possible to create one, developers and manufacturers would be required to under the new anti-encryption law.

But as privacy advocates have been pointing out (long since before this new bill was introduced), it is not feasible to create an encrypted messaging backdoor that is solely for law enforcement access. Once a threat actor sniffs it out and figures out how to exploit it, the device or the software is effectively ruined.

Amit Yoran, CEO of Tenable, summed up the feelings of most industry observers: Once again, some Washington policymakers are proposing uninformed technology policy with potentially catastrophic consequences. In one of the worst tech policy concepts of recent years, this proposal would strike a critical blow to privacy, cybersecurity and the competitiveness of US technology companies, all while leaving strong encryption within reach of any serious criminal. Law enforcement has access to more information than ever before to do their jobs. Forcing the creation of backdoors to allow law enforcement access to encrypted information is a terrible idea. With an expanded attack surface driven by new connected devices, a rapidly expanded remote workforce and increasingly complex campaigns by bad actors, we should be doing everything in our power to mitigate risk, not expand it.

Technology companies would likely enter into an endless cycle of compromise and revision under these circumstances, with it only being a question of how long it is between each new data breach of their encrypted devices.

Given all of the problems and contradictions this anti-encryption law would create, it seems unlikely to make its way through Congress. The real concern is that it could somehow be used to improve the chances of passage of the EARN IT Act, which has at least some level of bipartisan support.
