How about Google take a firm stand on not complying with NSA and other Government surveillance programs?

What else that data is used for, or who is granted access to it (such as the NSA?) we may never know. One purpose of that is for targeted advertising to the Gmail account holder. Every email that passes to or from a Gmail account is scanned for keywords, and added to a database. It seems a tad ironic, or perhaps hypocritical is the right adjective, that a company which is complicit in NSA surveillance of our data is at the same time claiming to be such a great advocate of privacy and encryption. Wait, you guys are implementing RFC 6637? Aren't P-256 and P-384 known to be weak? Google + USA + Three-Letter-Organisations = Encrypted E-mails? Private communications are a necessity in a Democracy.ĭo you plan on recoding End-to-end to use Web Crypto once it is generally available and supports the algorithms you require? That will likely increase security and definitely increase performance. Thank you Google, and thanks to everyone who is working on this project.

This is absolutely fantastic and I am surprised such a thing has not yet been implemented! Any plans for similar mobile support on Chrome Browser for Android or as a separate app?Ĭannot wait for it to hit the Chrome Store so I can get my friends to use it!īeen waiting for a very long time for this.īravo! It's long past due when OpenPGP should have gone mainstream.

Then just install the unpacked extension using the path e2e_dev/end-to-end/javascript/crypto/e2e/extension/ To install, you need to get the contents from and use the following instructions (after resolving the dependencies (like git, svc, wget, java and etc) in case you don't have them installed before hand): Hi, I would like to help people to install the project. Will Google permit/encourage/develop solutions for other browsers, too, such as Firefox? So how is the extension going to be different from This is great looking forward in seeing the new end-to-end changes. You can find more technical details describing how we've architected and implemented End-to-End here. But we hope that the End-to-End extension will make it quicker and easier for people to get that extra layer of security should they need it. We recognize that this sort of encryption will probably only be used for very sensitive messages or by those who need added protection. Once we feel that the extension is ready for primetime, we’ll make it available in the Chrome Web Store, and anyone will be able to use it to send and receive end-to-end encrypted emails through their existing web-based email provider. (And we mean it: our Vulnerability Reward Program offers financial awards for finding security bugs in Google code, including End-to-End.)

However, you won’t find the End-to-End extension in the Chrome Web Store quite yet we’re just sharing the code today so that the community can test and evaluate it, helping us make sure that it’s as secure as it needs to be before people start relying on it. To help make this kind of encryption a bit easier, we’re releasing code for a new Chrome extension that uses OpenPGP, an open standard supported by many existing encryption tools.

While end-to-end encryption tools like PGP and GnuPG have been around for a long time, they require a great deal of technical know-how and manual effort to use.
