Show HN: Encrypt and Destroy – Send dead simple encrypted messages on the web

&gt; Is it safe?<p>&gt; You bet. We use modern SSL encryption protocol to ensure that your data is securely sent to our servers for encryption.<p>&gt; Plus, your message and password will never be stored into the database.<p>Here&#x27;s a list of journalists killed since 1992 to 2010. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;datablog&#x2F;2010&#x2F;jan&#x2F;11&#x2F;journalists-killed-list-data" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;datablog&#x2F;2010&#x2F;jan&#x2F;11&#x2F;journal...</a><p>Here&#x27;s a list of journalists killed in Russia. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_journalists_killed_in_...</a><p>We need to be careful with these numbers, because sometimes a murdered journalist was not targeted because of their journalism. But still: you describe your service as safe. Is it something other people should trust their lives to? Is it something that could withstand a well funded government agency attack?

This is, I assume, a social experiment in seeing whether people will use encryption products they should stay well away from? :)

Hey everyone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!<p>As of now, the product is in a very very early stage of development and I am aware that it still needs some fixing and improvements. What you see in the first page is essentially what I believe this product should aim to be: an open, anonymous and secure messaging system on the Web.<p>DanBC: I think a people need a secure and completely anonymous messaging system like the one I imagine. As of now I wouldn&#x27;t trust the service myself because I know a lot can be done to improve security and the architecture itself needs a lot of work. I believe the only way a product like this can face the attacks you describe is through the support of the open source community. A product like this should be free and open for all.<p>What do you think? Are there similar products you would trust or that you like? How do we make encryption free and safe - and easy - for everyone to use?<p>Thanks again!

An interesting idea. Since doing encryption well is so hard, I am curious. How does it work from a technical perspective?

Tried to send same message with same password again after reading it.<p><pre><code> We&#x27;re sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.</code></pre>
