Encrypted E-Mail Company Hushmail Spills to Feds | Threat Level | Wired.com

"The first time a Hushmail user logs on, his browser downloads a Java applet that takes care of the decryption and encryption of messages on his computer, after the user types in the right passphrase. So messages reach Hushmail***8217;s server already encrypted. The Java code also decrypts the message on the recipient***8217;s computer, so an unencrypted copy never crosses the internet or hits Hushmails servers.
In this scenario, if a law enforcement agency demands all the e-mails sent to or from an account, Hushmail can only turn over the scrambled messages since it has no way of reversing the encryption.
However, installing Java and loading and running the Java applet can be annoying. So in 2006, Hushmail began offering a service more akin to traditional web mail. Users connect to the service via a SSL (
https://) connection and Hushmail runs the Encryption Engine on their side. Users then tell the server-side engine what the right passphrase is and all the messages in the account can then be read as they would in any other web-based email account.
The rub of that option is that Hushmail has ***8212; even if only for a brief moment ***8212; a copy of your passphrase. As they disclose in the technical comparison of the two options, this means that an attacker with access to Hushmail***8217;s servers can get at the passphrase and thus all of the messages.
In the case of the alleged steroid dealer, the feds seemed to compel Hushmail to exploit this hole, store the suspects***8217; secret passphrase or decryption key, decrypt their messages and hand them over."
