I haven't seen any technical discussion of what Disappearing Inc are
up to. Did the employee show up at the cypherpunks meeting as
advertised?
My guess is that they have come up with some kind of server gated
forward secrecy protocol for email. Forward secrecy is good, but
forward secrecy should be end-to-end, not server based, because then
you have to trust the server.
