Hi, I am glad to hear about your plugin. I assume that your Plugin will rely on a server side GnuPG installation and keys will be stored at the server. Unfortunately in this case the security would rely on server's security and admin's trustworthiness. Therefore it could be a solution to do client side encryption instead. For instance incoming encrypted emails may be decrypted in user's browser and composed emails may be encrypted in user's browser. Nowadays JavaScript is powerful enough to handle such tasks. The following page contains some ideas as well as links to exemplary implementations: https://www.privacyfoundation.de/wiki/Ideas
