comment Why using random salts?
Does the salt just need to be unique or is random important as well?

Good point on the passive-only attacks and on tracking. Although, in this case I'd think they be more concerned with preventing a data breach than merely identifying who caused it after the fact.

If they're assuming my mail is secure enough for the link, what do they really gain by not sending the data? Losing the link is the same as losing the data.

comment Asymmetric vs Symmetric Encryption
Those are all valid reasons to use one or the other, but it doesn't quite speak to the "strength". Perhaps a better way to ask is "which is easier to break?"
