Encrypt Gmail

You can use a script Gmail Encrypt to add encryption to the emails you write in Gmail.

It uses public key encryption and is implemented in an RSA type scheme in Javascript.

  • Keys can be exchanged securely as you can safely place your public key anywhere.
  • A seperate public key is required for each person, because they are maintained publically, it is significantly easier to keep track of them.
  • All your received emails can be decrypted at any time using your private key.
  • The private key, obviously, needs to remain private for this to work.
