-Messages marked [b]private[/b] are encrypted with AES-CBC 256-bit symmetric cipher, which is then protected (encrypted in turn) by public key cryptography, based on 4096-bit RSA keys, associated with the channel that is sending the message.
+Private mail is stored in an obscured format. While this is not bullet-proof it typically prevents casual snooping by the site administrator or ISP.
-These private messages are also stored in an encrypted form on remote systems.

-Each$Projectname channel has it's own unique set of private and associated public RSA 4096-bit keys, generated when the channels is first created.
+Each $Projectname channel has it's own unique set of private and associated public RSA 4096-bit keys, generated when the channels is first created. This is used to protect private messages and posts in transit.
Additionally, messages may be created utilising "end-to-end encryption" which cannot be read by $Projectname operators or ISPs or anybody who does not know the passcode.
