Dear Popowich,
Mailfence main assets are its very simple and lightweight interface allowing users to send and receive signed and encrypted messages in a very userfriendly way.
Mailfence supports both S/MIME and OpenPGP standards and does not require any plugin, applet,.... All is done through a webinterface.
Another specific characteristic is the fact that users can store their private key on the Mailfence servers. Before storing the key it is encrypted with the users passphrase. This is done in the browser in javascript, therefore the passphrase does not transit via our servers.
Some additional advantages of Mailfence are its efficient customer service and possibility to manage own domainnames.
The encryption service is currently in private beta and public beta is foreseen in a good month.
Beta testers can request an invitation on
