This talk will focus on the Dark Internet Mail Environment (DIME), a standards based, collaborative effort to create an elegant technical solution which is capable of protecting the privacy of email. DIME is focused on making the end-to-end encryption of email messages automatic, provides for message confidentiality, author verification, and minimizes the leakage of metadata. The DIME standards dramatically reduce the amount of trust individual users must place in service providers. The new standards, which we hope will someday succeed OpenPGP, have been designed to resist manipulation by advanced persistent threats. During this short presentation, we will provide a compressed discussion of the DIME standards, followed by a project update, where we hope to showcase the DIME implementation effort.br />
