TrustedPear reported that users of it's secret encrypted email service were able to send and receive personal information from inside sensitive government and defense contractor instrusion systems. This allows users to speak freely about personal, medical, legal or other issues from at work, and keep the boss from knowing their secrets.

Primum Group Technologies, Inc. (PGTI) has announced that users of TrustedPear's encrypted email service reported being able to send and receive personal information from within a sensitive US Government agency in Northern Virginia, and from deep inside several heavily fire-walled Defense Department contracting firms. In all cases, TrustedPear worked flawlessly, even where both government and corporate restrictions normally prevent use of web-based email.

TrustedPear is an encrypted email and messaging service. The system provides encrypted and anonymous exchange of messages between "trusted pairs" of users. All Trusted Pear email and other messages are always encrypted, private between agreed users and can be exchanged anonymously on the Internet, using a proprietary technique in data handling so its messages do not appear to be encrypted on the Internet. That is, they have no "signature" that gives them away.
[This is a well-known issue of course which must be handled through a mixture of enforced policies and filtering. --Ed].
