Syme is the creation of three students from McGill University in Montreal, Canada - a world leader in privacy legislation - where the service is also hosted. Co-founder Jonathan Hershon, a psychology student, told IDG News Service that their aim was to 'make encryption accessible and easy to use for people who aren't geeks or aren't hackers'. The social network, which is appropriately named after a character in Orwell's dystopian - and increasingly prescient - classic 1984, uses a two-step, hybrid encryption system to scramble users' communications.
