Irish firm’s email encryption app wins Chile backing

An Irishman, who has created a computer application which makes emails safer, has clinched a deal with the Chilean government to sell his new business worldwide.

Dublin-based business, Jumble.io, set up by Gavin Kearney, aims to help the public and companies keep emails and data secure from hackers and big business.

Mr Kearney was told by the Chilean government he had secured thousands of euro in backing from their Incubator programme for new businesses at the end of last week.
