![]() In the past two years, the Company has been frequently thrust into the public debate over encryption and terrorism (new window), and like Apple, has on occasion needed to fight governments to protect user privacy (new window). The Company’s innovative email service features end-to-end encryption, which makes it practically impossible for governments, or even Proton Mail itself, to gain access to user messages, ensuring the highest level of security and privacy. For the past two years, Proton Mail has been invite-only and today has over 1 million users participating in its closed beta, including businesses, journalists, activists, and private individuals. In the post-Snowden environment, Proton Mail was hit with overwhelming demand and forced to institute a waiting list for new accounts after signups exceeded 10’000 per day. The privacy focused email service was first launched in beta in May 2014 by a group of scientists who met at CERN and MIT. Concurrently, the service will be launching its free iOS and Android mobile applications globally in the Apple App store and Google Play store. Proton Mail, the world’s largest encrypted email provider, is announcing today that the service is leaving beta and will be allowing open registrations for the first time in nearly two years.
