On one end, where governments of countries like Russia is criticizing end-to-end encryption and considering to ban the encrypted communication apps like Snapchat, CryptoCat, WhatsApp and Apple’s iMessage. On the other hand, the Internet community has come up with a new and rather more secure encrypted communication app.

 

Dubbed Peerio, an "encrypted productivity suite" designed to offer much more usable alternative to PGP email and file encryption, so that every individual user and business can encrypt everything from Instant Messages to online file storage.

 

Peerio, released on Wednesday, is designed by 24-year-old Nadim Kobeissi – the creator of the end-to-end encrypted group messaging app Cryptocat and the encrypted file-sharing app MiniLock.

 

"With Peerio everything you share or communicate with your team is secured with state-of-the-art encryption, and it’s as easy as using Gmail. You don’t need to learn to use it," Kobeissi told Wired. "Peerio brings crypto to where the people are."

 

At present, Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) technology is the only way to send end-to-end encrypted emails and messages, but is very difficult to use for most of the people. However, there are several companies working on making PGP easier to use in end-to-end encrypted email.
