NNCP has modern security: full end-to-end encryption, onion routing, cryptographic signatures, and so forth. It also can use anything from synchronized folders to USB sticks as carriers, in addition to the regular Internet.
It turns out that all the most common MTAs (Mail Transport Agents; mail servers) still have the hooks for UUCP. So NNCPNET takes advantage of that, substitutes in NNCP plus some routing and verification logic, and poof: instant email network.
