‘Google To World: Encrypted Email Is The New Black’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Google To World: Encrypted Email Is The New Black”.
Adriana Lee says, “Google has a message for the world: Insecure, unencrypted email just isn’t cool any more.
On Tuesday, the tech giant released code for an early alpha version of an “end-to-end” Chrome encryption plugin—basically, software that will let users send encoded messages to one another using any Web-based email provider. It also added some interesting new data to its “Safer Email” transparency report—namely, the fact that about half of email received by its Gmail service arrives with no encryption that would protect it from prying eyes on the Internet. Its report also calls out the worst offenders among other major email providers—among them, cable giant Comcast”.
