The TOR network is a cluster of servers that allow people to advance their privacy and protection on the Internet. TOR’s user makes use of this network by connecting through various virtual tunnels rather than building a direct connection, as a result allowing both organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without negotiating their security and privacy.

OnionMail is an encrypted mail server made to run anonymously on TOR network without losing the capability to communicate with the internet. All OnionMail servers are configured as TOR hidden services and uses SSL (via STARTTLS). OnionMail not only ensures greater privacy to the users but also protect against eavesdropping of the NSA and others. The OnionMail server uses asymmetric encryption. In case of any online attack, each inbox is encrypted with RSA asymmetric keys. By acquiring the server side keys nobody can read messages from the user’s inbox. All data are saved in encrypted form. In this way an attacker can’t attain the reverse path to get information or metadata of any user and their activities.
