		nikster on Aug 9, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Silent Circle shuts down email service It would be up to the client to install PGP for true end to end encryption. What I was wondering - why don't they keep the email service but reject all emails that are sent without PGP? Then people would have to go through the pain of installing PGP but they would end up with truly secure email.

Silent Circle is a software client and service, not a cloud hosted solution. As such, they can do PGP themselves and (from my understanding) did.

Silent Mail was not a separate client.
