Hello,
I think this constitutes quite a huge leap forward in terms of
usability. Basically they combined open source javascript libraries for
IMAP, TLS and OpenPGP to form a client side browser based email client
that is capable of making e2e encrypted mailing charmingly easy. That
combined with the state of the art UI from https://github.com/nylas/N1
would be terrific!
# Whiteout.io
[Whiteout.io](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5) **HTML5 mail
App** with integrated OpenPGP encryption from Munich, Germany. Usable
as a **chrome extension**, **mobile phone app** or **self-hosted**
(Node.js). They also offer free and paid [managed
mailboxed](https://whiteout.io/). The code has undergone a **full
security audit** of their sourcecode by Cure53.
Using JavaScript Whiteout will establish a **encrypted end-to-end
connection** from you browser/the app/the extension **to the IMAP
server**.
Keys can easily be **generated (2048 bit)** on the client, **imported,
exported and revoked**. Users have the option to use a **encrypted
private key sync** if they conveniently want to use the same key on
multiple devices. Whiteout will **transparently search for public
keys** of peers by querying common public key servers. Sent encrypted
mails are encrypted to self before they get saved to `Sent`.
# OpenPGP.js
A **pure Javascript** implementation of the OpenPGP protocol:
[OpenPGP.js](http://openpgpjs.org/). Only supports browsers that
implement `window.crypto.getRandomValues`. Code base has undergone
**two complete security audits** from [Cure53](https://cure53.de/).
Viele Gruesse,
