Home of Sub Rosa Secure Email Service
The Sub Rosa email service is designed to be the most secure service available anywhere. It has been specially architected for people who value their email privacy. It is available by subscription.
Sub Rosa secure email service is designed to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the opporunity for anyone other than the intended recipient, to read a private email.
We believe open source software and published standards provide the best security so we use those where ever possible.
Being hosted outside the EU (and in particular, the UK) we are not required to (and do not) retain logs of user activity.
Customers running IMAP or POP clients on their personal computers communicate with our email server over TLS encrypted links. TLS links prevent eavesdroppers from reading your messages while they are in transit between your computer and ours. Even encrypted messages sent over unencrypted links expose recipient address and other header information.
Those customers using our webmail interface enjoy SSL link encryption between our server and their web browser. SSL is similar to TLS in preventing eavesdroppers from reading your messages in transit.
Our open source webmail interface supports server side GPG message encryption. While this is less secure than encrypting on your own computer, it may be your only option while traveling and using publicly available systems.
If you are on the road and forced to use a public computer at an internet cafe or public library, you should be concerned about keyloggers. A keylogger is software that records every keystroke you make. It allows the installer to collect sensitive infomation such as passwords, account numbers, and emails from unsuspecting users of the computer.
The Sub Rosa webmail interface provides a virtual keyboard that allows you to compose emails without using the keyboard. This defeats any keylogging software that may be installed on the system.
Unlike free email services, we don't know your password so there is no way we can be fooled into revealing it to someone else.
All email stored on our host reside on special partitions encrypted using open source Truecrypt software. This prevents your messages from being exposed in the event of a successful break-in attempt on our server. Of course we take all precautions to prevent such a break-in in the first place.
In these troubled times, an important threat to email security has become warrantless surveilance by the U.S. governent. The Sub Rosa server is located outside U.S. jurisdiction in a country with strong privacy protection laws.
Sub Rosa currently use Spamassassin to reduce spam. Additional filters are being investigated.
Businesses can standardize and brand their user accounts as user@companyname.com.
Discounts are available for group accounts of 10 or more.
