Interested readers may first want to consider Bruce Schneier's comments
on the system:

And Hushmail's response:

GNU Privacy Guard -- a completely free PGP replacement -- has already
been mentioned on list, but I think I should still point out that I
trust it far more than I would any web-based encryption system, both in
design (my private key remains on my computer) and implementation (the
source code is not hidden).
