TorMail 🧅

TorMail is an experimental, ephemeral Tor hidden-service mail system built with Flask, GNUPG, and Stem. It’s designed for private, temporary communication where:

✅ All messages are end-to-end encrypted using GPG
✅ User identities exist only as ephemeral GPG keys
✅ Messages live purely in-memory, leaving no disk traces
✅ Access happens only through a Tor hidden service

---

🔐 How It Works

• Ephemeral Tor Hidden Service
  Launches a unique .onion address on startup, forwarding traffic to the Flask app.

• User Accounts
  Users generate GPG key pairs tied to <username>@tormail.onion, protected by a private passphrase.

• Authentication
  Users decrypt a test message during login to prove key ownership.

• Messaging

  • All messages are GPG-encrypted.
  • Stored in RAM only while the server is running.
  • Decrypted only on demand via user sessions.

• Security Features

  • Strict Content Security Policy
  • Rate-limiting on all endpoints
  • Randomized HTTP headers to disguise the server fingerprint

---

⚠️ Limitations & Warnings

• No persistence. Messages vanish if the server restarts.
• Not production-grade — research use only.
• Requires Tor Browser or a SOCKS5 proxy to access the hidden service.

🚀 Future Development Goals

TorMail is evolving. Future versions aim to:

• Implement offline message storage:

  • Store encrypted mail on an OpenLog SD card module.
  • Operate the SD card with selective hardware isolation:
    • Disable RX/TX lines to physically prevent data exfiltration or tampering.
  • Keep keys and decrypted content out of persistent storage entirely.

• Enhance security:

  • Stronger session management.
  • Client-side crypto for additional secrecy.
  • Hardened endpoints and input validation.

• Improve UX:

  • Richer HTML templates for inbox and mail composition.
  • Per-message decryption on demand.
  • Optional vanity .onion addresses.
