This is a combination GreaseMonkey script and Java applet that embeds PGP encryption functionality into webmail. I wrote it because I am very much in favor of encrypting and signing all email. This is no problem for communicating with people using PGP-aware email clients (like KMail or Thunderbird with the appropriate plug-ins). However, I often talk with webmail-using people who will not use such a client. I created this for them. Anyone capable of using a real email client should definitely go that route instead.
To use it, you'll need FireFox, the GreaseMonkey extension, Java, and a PGP program such as GnuPG.
The roadmap so far is:
| 0.1 | - | Decryption |
| 0.2 | - | Validating signatures |
| 0.3 | - | Encryption |
| 0.4 | - | Writing signatures |
| 0.5 | - | Gmail support |
| 0.6 | - | Fastmail support |
0.1 - 0.4 will only support Yahoo mail, as that is what is used by the first people I'm going to try to convince to use this.
0.1 is almost ready, I just need to fix one bug (that I know of..), and ensure that its secure enough. Security is a huge concern with a project like this; decrypted plaintext and such have to be locked down as much as possible.
