4 ways to revolutionize Email Ecosystem with Decentralized Email
Solution!
Published on: March 31st, 2022
We are in the era of Technology Revolution, Digital Transformation,
Digital Innovation, and Industrial Revolution 4.0 where we are
experiencing technologies are scaling without humans and bringing
true operational resilience in terms of user experience, automation,
and ROI.
While we are advancing on many technological and industrial
verticals, one area which is still untapped is Email Ecosystem.
Emails are our regular, day-to-day life communication channel and it
is not evolving and innovating as expected. We are still using email
transfer protocols which were designed in 1982 and were last updated
in 2008. We are experiencing a monopoly of big tech giants using
their email platforms with little or no encryption, privacy, and
security.
To eliminate these pain points and revolutionize the Email Ecosystem
completely, the Decentralization of Blockchain technology stands as
the main alternative.
So,
How we can leverage Blockchain and Decentralization to redesign,
revamp and revolutionize Email Ecosystems?
1. Replacement of Existing Protocols
We can begin by replacing existing and traditional email transfer
protocols such as SMTP/IMAP which are cumbersome and hackable in
nature with Blockchain Technology.
With Blockchain, we can store the emails/messages on shared ledgers
similar to any crypto transaction. It will easily replace current
email transfer protocols with Blockchain and we can inherit all the
benefits of Blockchain technology here which is getting recognized
as one of the most secure and trustworthy technologies in the
current market.
2. Encrypting Emails with Cryptography
Current email platforms do provide Transport Layer Security but are
it enough to secure your emails from breaches?
In TSL Encryption, the connection between Sender and Receiver is
encrypted which is subjected to the receiver having TSL enabled at
his end. In this way, one email server can send a message to another
email server and TSL can encrypt the connection.
But the only the connection is encrypted in this case, payload data
or actual email content is still un-encrypted which makes it
vulnerable to breach.
To cope with this problem, we can leverage open source Cryptography
Algorithms such as xSalsa20 Stream Cipher Algorithms, which can
cryptographically encrypt the messages and make it next to
impossible to decrypt with external intervention and breach.
3. No need to compromise Privacy
Although current email providers mention they don’t scan email
content exclusively to collect information for their advertising
machines, data from our accounts is used to serve advertisements in
our mailbox. By changing the Privacy Policies of these open-source
platforms, they are collecting as much information as they can,
which is compromising our privacy to great extent.
With Blockchain and Decentralization where all the data is encrypted
and stored on a distributed network, no single authority can dictate
our data and we can experience enhanced privacy through the same.
4. Replacing Centralized Storage with Decentralization
Current email providers have centralized storage where all the
information and data is stored which makes it vulnerable to a single
point of failure. We have seen several instances in the past where
such centralized servers are compromised and suffered through
catastrophic failure, accidentally burn to the ground, and even
seized by a third party.
With Decentralization, where nodes are distributed along with the
network and encrypted documents are stored on a decentralized IPFS
network, we are eliminating this possibility of a single point of
failure and increasing the security layers through Decentralization.
With consideration of all of the above pain points, problems and
concerns, we have come up with Revolutionary, Immutable,
Cryptographically secure, and World’s First,
