Gmail starts encrypting emails from beginning to end
Security and privacy are crucial aspects of email, just as they are for the messages we send using instant messaging apps like WhatsApp. Google is now adding a new encryption feature to Gmail because of this.
This kind of platform is still widely used in the online industry, even after all these years. Businesses and end users frequently send and receive a lot of emails every day. In this regard, Gmail is among the most popular services in the world.
The search engine giant Google is now providing Gmail users with end-to-end encryption for this reason, among others. The reason we are telling you this is because the business has only recently started implementing its new end-to-end encryption model, or E2EE. Since this feature is being rolled out to Gmail Business users, there will undoubtedly be a significant inconvenience at first.
Notably, this feature greatly simplifies the process of sending encrypted emails to any recipient. All of this is done for the good reason of enhancing privacy when utilizing this email system. Additionally, Google claims that business users will no longer have to worry about complicated certificate requirements when sending encrypted emails to others using any email service or platform thanks to the introduction of the new E2EE model for Gmail.
It is very easy to use. All Gmail users need to do is turn on the extra encryption feature in order to send a new encrypted email. This occurs while the message is being written, and if the recipient is a Gmail user with a personal or business account, the message will be automatically decrypted. Note that recipients will be sent a link to log in and view the content in a restricted version of Gmail if they are using the Gmail mobile app or other email clients.
Sending E2EE emails to Gmail users within their organization is now possible for those who have this feature. You will also be able to send encrypted emails to any Gmail inbox during the coming weeks. Furthermore, regardless of the platform you use, you will be able to accomplish this from any email inbox later this year.
