🎯 Our Leitmotiv
The mission and vision driving the @@ Protocol
🔐 DAE's Mission
To democratize truly private email through body-split architecture, making digital privacy accessible to everyone through a simple, universal, and future-proof protocol.
🤖 1. Security Against AI and Quantum Computing
We are entering an era where Artificial Intelligence and quantum computers threaten current cryptographic security. Our goal is:
- eHead and eBody are both needed: Without eHead or eBody, not even with the private key could any partial information be extracted.
- Post-quantum preparation: Although RSA is not quantum-resistant, the system can optionally include a dual verification channel. Discovering the private key would not be enough; the attacker would also need to control a second communication system.
- Extreme confidentiality: From the moment the @@ protocol is widespread and doubleat.email ceases to be a temporary solution, only the sender and recipient will know the email content.
- Future-proof: We designed the @@ protocol to be easily updatable to new cryptographic algorithms when needed.
For several reasons:
1. Without being together, no partial information can be extracted.
2. Remove limits on the size of files that can be attached.
3. The '@' protocol was designed to send text, not files.
4. The '@' protocol is already 50 years old. It has been great, but new threats are coming.
📧 2. Alleviate Attachment Traffic
Current mail servers are overloaded with gigabytes and terabytes of email attachments. Our @@ protocol offers an innovative solution:
- eHead by email: Only the first 50 KB of the encrypted email travels through the traditional email system.
- eBodys by download: The rest of the data (the eBodys) are downloaded from specialized servers, not mail servers.
- Decentralization: We reduce load on mail servers by distributing weight among storage servers.
- Efficiency: Mail servers can process more emails because they transport less attachment data.
• 306 billion emails are sent every day
• 50% contain file attachments
• Average attachment size: 2.5 MB and growing
DAE Solution: Decouple attachments from the traditional email system.
🌍 3. Universality of the @@ Protocol
Our dream is that the @@ protocol is accessible from any email client:
- Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird: Plugins and extensions so any client supports @@
- Webmails: Integration with existing webmail services
- Mobile: Native apps for iOS and Android
- Open Source: The @@ protocol is open and can be implemented by anyone
- Compatibility: @@ emails work with any email provider
Imagine a world where writing user@domain.com in any email client automatically means "encrypt this". Where privacy is not a technical feature, but the default standard. Where AI cannot read your emails because they are mathematically protected.
