The minds behind email encryption tools Lavabit and Silent Circle, both of whom closed down due to government pressure, have launched a new initiative aiming to deliver encrypted email called Dark Mail. The company has turned to Kickstarter to help get the project going. "The Summer of Snowden may have taken the Lavabit email service offline," reads the project's Kickstarter page. "But the lifeblood of the service is still alive and relevant to Dark Mail."
