Opolis: Secure and Free Email Solution for Investigative Journalists

Online, August 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Frequently there are reports about email accounts of journalists being hacked, not only in places like China, Russia or else. Especially vulnerable are email accounts of investigative journalists reporting about delicate political topics, corruption or the violation of human rights.

Opolis Secure Mail (http://www.opolis.eu) was launched in early 2010 to provide a high-security email and messaging service solution. Whilst functioning like email, various security and safety features are embedded in a free service which operates from any host PC all over the world.

With Opolis, all messages and attached documents, such as photos, are in their entire chain sender-to-recipient encrypted and can therefore not be read or accessed by any unauthorized individual. In addition, before sending a message, the sender decides whether the recipient may copy, print, respond to or forward a message or not. Hence, information leaks can simply been prevented in that the sender forbids that a message may be printed, forwarded or copied. This feature also extends to all text and photo attachments.

The Opolis monitoring functions put the sender in a position that the sent message can be tracked in its further trail. Hence, if for example forwarding were allowed, then the sender will see when and to whom a message was forwarded and how it was further processed.

These features, among many more, should provide a solid solution for the challenging jobs of investigative journalists. As mentioned, the solution works from any host PC all over the world and any activities in regards to Opolis will not leave any traces on the host machine.

Opolis is for free and merely requires that both, the sender and the recipient are Opolis users. The registration process takes approximately 5 minutes.
