This extension securely encrypts/decrypts Gmail™
Message Secure Send Extension
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.
