This might be useful in the mode where you can deploy it on your own server, but I'm not touching their my.anyterm service. Why should I consider them more trustworthy than Hushmail?


Hi dfranke - I'm the author of anyterm and I run my.anyterm.org. No, you don't have to trust me. my.anyterm.org is clearly insecure. But it is useful to people who don't need much security. I understand that many people just use it for text-based chat and things like that. Also, some people will subscribe because, although it's insecure, it's a better choice than flying home half way through their holiday....


Hi endecotp. I'm glad to see your candor about the level of security offered and I hope that my original comment didn't come across more harshly than I meant it. I was speaking solely for myself: I am not the market for this because I'd rather carry PuTTY on a thumb drive than hand my private key material to a third party I've never met. Others are free to weigh things differently.
