[liberationtech] Galaxkey email and document encryption

[Cooper Quintin]

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for sharing this.  I'm curious if you allow people to review your
code or if you have had any respected professional cryptographers do a
code review to make sure that your cryptography is solid.

I see on your website that you say "Since Galaxkey is a cloud based
solution, it does not require additional hardware or software on your
premises."  Does this mean that galaxkey is storing the private keys for
users? If so, what measures do you take to secure those public keys.
Could a rogue employee get access to those public keys and use them to
decrypt communications without the user knowing?  What about a law
enforcement agency.

Your product seems interesting, but it does raise some serious concerns
in my mind.  Thanks for sharing it with the libtech list, I look forward
to seeing your response.
