Gmail makes it easier for companies to send encrypted email messages

Google updates Gmail to allow Enterprise users to send encrypted messages to any internal box in only a few clicks. Google says it has developed a new encryption model, unlike Current encryption feature on GmailIt does not require messengers or beneficiaries to use customer encryption certificates or exchange.

The feature is presented in the experimental version starting today, and it will initially be available to Google Enterprise users to send encrypted email messages to other Gmail users within the same institution. Google says that this will expand to the emails sent to any Gmail box “in the coming weeks”, and to the incoming mailboxes from any third -party email provider “later this year.”

The current Gmail encryption feature can be used, based on the Safe/MIME e -email protocol (S/MIME) to send external emails. Doing this requires the recipient of the S/Mime composition and complete multiple steps with the sender securely before exchanging emails.

The new Gmail users will allow simply to “additional encryption” in the email draft window to send an encrypted message. A recipient of non -S/MIME will be provided with a link to log in to the Google Working Space account for the guest to display it safely and respond to the email in a restricted version of Gmail. If the recipient has already been formed, Gmail will send the message through the S/Mime process currently uses. Email messages will be decoded to both business accounts and personal Gmail accounts automatically in the inbox received for the recipient.

The encryption provided using this new system is higher than the safety layer safety that Gmail uses by default in all email messages, but we must notice that this is not Technically E2EE encryption, even if this is what Google calls. The updated capacity is run by encryption by the customer, which provides to control the codes of the work area, allowing them to cancel the user access and “monitor the user’s encrypted files”, ” According to the Google Help page.
