Gmail S/MIME Encryption plugin for Firefox
Posted by hevnsnt under Hacking , Internet , Software , Tech[3] Comments
Gmail S/MIME provides Firefox users with S/MIME support for Gmail. S/MIME support is integrated directly into Google’s Gmail web interface. Reading and sending of encrypted mail is supported. Verification of signatures is not currently supported. There are some interoperability and performance issues which I plan to iron out in later releases.

thats pretty cool, I’ll give them some time to improve and maybe I’ll get it then.

http://www.keygloo.com has an encryption software that allows you to send encrypted emails (public key technology) from Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, Lycos mail and Outlook Express(Interoperable). Keygloo simply introduces a tool bar to your browser with buttons to encrypt, decrypt and attach (encrypted attachments). So if you are looking for interoperability between webmails and Email clients while sending encrypted emails, Keygloo is a better choice compared to Gmail SMIME.
Keygloo is currently available only for IE though. But the software is the simplest to use and well suited for average internet users!

I was talking to a friend just 2 days ago about how scary it was that gmails are “never actually deleted,” and we both started to wonder if there was an encryption plugin for arbitrary browser fields integrated with, e.g., gpg for windows…
Nice work!
