> Eppie generates a BIP39 seed phrase when you sign up, which helps to create private and public keys. It secures all your emails using the ECDH protocol.

This encryption method is so secure that it will take 2048^12 combinations to unlock a seed phrase of 12 words. The most powerful supercomputer would spend billions of years attempting such a task.

Interesting to see it uses a BIP39 seed phrase, the same tech that bitcoin uses to generate and store in a human-readable format the long password with high entropy.

> The encrypted data is stored in a private IPFS cluster.

Aha. I wondered *where* the email is being saved, since it's saved on “a decentralized network.”
