Message Secure Send Extension

Message Secure Send (MSS) allows any Gmail™ / Chrome™ users to exchange secure, encrypted emails in just a few clicks. It is perfect for when you'd like to send a credit card number, social security number or other personal information.

Using MSS is simple: when composing an email click the extension, and provide a question your recipient (but not others) will know the answer to. When your recipient gets the email, they answer the question and view your email; other prying eyes will not be able to read it. (Note that your recipient will need to install MSS to read the email - we are working on more support for other browsers and email readers, but Gmail™/ Chrome™ is required today).

MSS also encrypt emails with simple passwords, so you don't have to insert the question into the email if you've agreed upon a password with the recipient in advance.

Limitations of the current version - we are working on these...
- MSS does not encrypt attachments or the subject of your email
- MSS, Chrome™ and Gmail™ must be available by your recipient to read the email

Gmail™ and Chrome™ are trademarks of Google Inc. Use of these trademarks are subject to Google Permissions.
