We are happy to announce that the European Commission has awarded €2 million to
Proton AG, the parent company of Proton Mail and Proton VPN, to develop a suite
of encrypted services.
Earlier today claims appeared that Proton Mail is compromised because of an
alleged connection between our SSL certificates and DarkMatter, a shadowy
cybersecurity company. These allegations are false, as we will explain.
Our first-ever charity auction has exceeded all expectations, generating over
€30,000 for three organizations dedicated to human rights and online privacy.
The holidays are a time of giving, and this year we are auctioning three Proton
Mail Lifetime Accounts, with all proceeds going towards supporting three
organizations that align strongly with our mission.
We launched our free VPN service, Proton VPN, in 2017 to ensure that the
Internet lives up to its promise of freedom of information. WireGuard is a new
VPN protocol that is worthy of our support.
We’re happy to announce the strongest encryption algorithm ever conceived:
Delete-Everything Verifiably Null Universally Lossy Logarithm, or DEVNULL for
short.
As part of our commitment to security, we maintain a Tor onion site for Proton
Mail which can provide extra privacy and accessibility in countries where Proton
Mail is blocked.
We're happy to announce a major new version of OpenPGPjs, the world's most
widely used JavaScript PGP encryption library. Version 3.0 brings many
enhancements to the hundreds of applications and millions of users who rely on
OpenPGPjs.
