"proprietary encryption technology"

This press release seems to indicate that the encryption used in Silent Circle isn't available for inspection. Is this confirmed in other media? Given that security through obscurity is not accepted as valid, it would be worth adding to the article. -effigies (talk) 23:56, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RfC concerning the Lavabit email service

There is a request for comments (RfC) that may be of interest. The RfC is at

Talk:Lavabit#RfC: Should information about Lavabit complying with previous search warrants be included?

At issue is whether we should delete or keep the following text in the Lavabit article:

Before the Snowden incident, Lavabit had complied with previous search warrants. For example, on June 10, 2013, a search warrant was executed against Lavabit user Joey006@lavabit.com for alleged possession of child pornography.

Your input on this question would be very much welcome. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:43, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Were (are) their data centres in the US or Switzerland?

The Kolab Now article claims they offer an email service that's reasonably safe because their servers are in Switzerland rather than US, and it gives LavaBit and Silent Circle as examples of email services that shut down because being in the US carries too many risks.

I see that Silent Circle's headquarters is now in Switzerland, after moving from Canada. Is the Kolab Now article wrong about Silent Circle's data centres being in the US (in 2013)? Were the data centres in the US or was it Canada? And are they now still there or are they now in Switzerland?

Whatever the answer, I'd like to clarify this in both articles. Anyone able to help? Gronky (talk) 19:57, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia, MD ??

I really wonder where this information comes from. I tried to establish the correct info from their website, in their blog I found information referring to Nevis, where they were founded, and Switzerland, where apparently they are now. I can only conclude Columbia, MD is wrong, so I corrected the headquarters location in the article. WikiPidi (talk) 11:44, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
