With the look of Google Plus and Facebook-like elements, a new
social network named ?Syme? feels as cozy as a well-worn shoe.
But beneath the familiar veneer, it?s quite different. Syme
encrypts all content, such as status updates, photos and files, so
that only people invited to a group can view it. Syme, which hosts
the content on its Canada-based servers, says it can?t read it.
?The overarching goal of Syme is to make encryption accessible and
easy to use for people who aren?t geeks or aren?t hackers or who
aren?t cryptography experts,? said co-founder Jonathan Hershon.
