From Slashdot: “An anonymous reader writes: “Tumbleweed, ‘secure’ email via http with SSL, so, not really end-to-end secure, just got the patent on private URLs; “Tumbleweed IME generates a private URL for each secure delivery. The private URL that IME creates is unique, tied to the sender of the package or transaction, to the content being sent, and to the intended recipient.” I guess I can’t tell my buds to surf to a non-public directory on my website to download stuff anymore.””
