Google Open-Sources Chrome Extension to Make PGP Encryption Easier in Gmail Initially created by Google engineers, E2EMail has now been open-sourced on GitHub, so other security experts can contribute and improve its effectiveness. E2EMail is not yet available via the Chrome Web Store, and if you want to install it, you'll have to go through a series of complicated steps to build the extension and then load it in Chrome. Instructions are included in the GitHub repo. Currently, E2EMail's only limitation is that it supports only text-based email messages. This means no email formatting and file attachments. The development team plans to encrypt more than the email's body in future releases, hoping to support encrypted email headers to boost security and anonymity further. Google open-sourced the project but does not plan to support it as an official product. See http://ift.tt/2m2qm7A
