Today let’s look at how ProtonMail account is different from regular email. How to sign up for it and what virtual numbers have to do with it.
Proton is one of the largest services providing electronic mail delivery. The project was developed in a collaboration between CERN and MIT.
Proton uses a cryptographic key system combined with P2P. Which allows you to protect the user from unauthorized access to emails from third parties.
Encryption takes place in the browser itself using the AES-256 algorithm.
The system implies that your email is not stored on any server but reaches the recipient directly. The cryptographic code makes it impossible to intercept the letter, which means that your confidentiality will be definitely respected.
Account Protonmail offers the ability to log in with two passwords, one from your system and one from your mailbox.
