AT & T has developed a system of self-destruction email

      How can you deal with data leaks via e-mail? You can encrypt the message, you can use many other techniques, and you can physically destroy emails (like a tape in the "Mission Impossible"). A new patent application filed by the operator AT & T, has done just that.

       Company has filed an application to patent a new technology that describes the self-destructing email. Letters to the technology did not arrive in the recipient's mailbox and waiting for his check, and come in a box at the time of user location and cleared independently of the will of the reader after a specified period of time. In this case, the letters themselves are destroyed, you can copy, save, or forward, but at the request of the sender, all of these letters can be removed at a specified time.

      A new technology called Method, System, and Apparatus for Providing Self-Destructing Electronic Mail Messages. It describes a system of so-called email-control servers that will work with these types of messages. Send an email with the control server to normal can then only if he so desires sender. Of course, in an ordinary server will be the most common and lose the possibility of self-destruction. 

       At AT & T said that while their system has some gaps in the implementation, but the very concept of the company finds useful and interesting. In the application, the company said that the new system allows the sender to retain control over the data being transferred, even after they had gone to a different server, it also greatly complicates the data for potential thieves. The most important advantage is its ability to remotely destroy the message. The sender can set the time of destruction of rigid writing, after which the message will be removed anyway, irrespective of whether it has been read or not.
