Encrypted emails (PGP) in gmail running in prism
3 January 2010, 02:36
I’m a prism fan. I mentioned it twice already here so I won’t recap the reasons why.
Today’s lesson is how to get email encryption in gmail through prism.
To get OpenPGP (so gpg) email encryption to work in gmail the best I’ve found yet is a firefox extension named FireGPG.
I searched if the extension worked under prism and support was requested in 2008 and added early last year.
So, yes, it works out of the box. The only glitch is that in order to install an extension into a prism app, you need to open the said prism app then open the add-ons window and drag and drop the extension’s .xpi file into that window.
Happy signed and/or encrypted emails!
