Re: [Sks-devel] Encrypt.to searching for beta users

[admin]

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your feedback. That's right, the user needs to trust the  
service. The toolchain is open source http://openpgpjs.org/ and you  
can review the JS code. How does the "End" in end-to-end looks like?  
Instead of using a mail plugin it's a website which runs JS code in  
your browser. Clear a PGP user knows how to encrypt a message on his  
PC, but if my non geek friends would like to send me an encrypted  
message without knowing PGP, I provide them one link and that's it.  
And how do you send an encrypted message without your PC? :)

Regards
Jan
