Lockbin is a free service for sending private email messages. People use it to send things like credit card information or confidential information.
Why can't I just use email?
Network sniffers can spy on your email traffic. Using Secure Sockets helps, but there is no guarantee the recipient is taking the same precaution.
How does it work?
Lockbin's cryptographic algorithm uses a Secret Word to encrypt messages. You invent the Secret Word and deliver it to the recipient using a phone, text message, instant message, smoke signals, homing pigeon, or as a last resort... another email. When the encrypted message is received, it is destroyed from Lockbin's database, and decrypted in the recipient's browser, provided that they entered the Secret Word correctly. Uncollected messages are destroyed after six months.
Nothing is perfect, and neither is this, but it is certainly safer than sending sensitive data directly through email. The largest threats to this method would be 1) capturing the sender or recipient's password by spoofing the Lockbin website, or 2) a screen capture virus that images the decrypted message on the recipient's computer. Neither attacks are likely, but are possible in theory.
