Professor Kumkum Saxena, Dev Rajdev, Divesh Bhatia, Manav Bahl · 2021
The objective of the paper was to reinforce security and to make privacy a priority in mailing services. There has been an excellent effort over a few decades to enhance the security of emails. ProtonMail has made an enormous breakthrough in the security field by using encryption as a base to reinforce the user's data privacy and digital wellbeing. The security constraints prevent ProtonMail itself from deciphering the messages. ProtonMail has implemented various algorithms like SSL, TLS, TOR, and Open PGP to upgrade privacy. ProtonMail helps the field of Information Technology as it provides a secure e-mail experience with zero data sharing, which other mailing platforms cannot ensure. An analytical comparison was conducted to demonstrate how ProtonMail eradicates the vulnerabilities that other mailing services allow. The results demonstrated that the algorithms effectively prevent data breaches and are protected with the keys provided. The scope for threat significantly decreases and reflects on how it is an ideal platform to adopt in the coming future to seize possibilities of misconduct.
