About Secure Salt

Secure Salt was founded on a simple idea: if you make identity verifiable, and abuse expensive, the internet gets dramatically better. First stop: email.

Our principles

You first, always

The recipient controls their inbox. Not the sender, not the platform, not us.

Trust through verification

"Trust but verify" - Ronald Reagan. Every action is cryptographically traceable to a human.

Incentives, enforced by infrastructure

Secure Salt uses algorithms and infrastructure to make unwanted access costly and wanted access simple.

Works with your email

No new inbox. No plugins. No migration. Set up in 5 minutes.

The mission

Openness was the internet's genius, and its blind spot.

The internet made sending effortless. It never made identity or intent trustworthy. That is why spam, phishing, bots, and AI fraud scale so easily.

Secure Salt has built the infrastructure to change that. We make identity verifiable, unwanted access expensive, and control clear: the recipient decides what gets through.

SaltMail is the first stop: email, protected without a new inbox.

P.S. Why "Secure Salt"?

In ancient Rome, soldiers were paid in salt. In fact, it's where the word "salary" comes from. A single grain was nearly worthless. But enough grains moved empires. We liked the parallel.
