Darlene Storm: Easily encrypt Gmail


Whether you are an individual who values your privacy, or a business sending
sensitive information that is meant only for the eyes of the recipient, it is
time to take encryption seriously. In light of the General Petraeus
scandal, and the ease with which the feds can access your email and drafts
stored in the cloud, then you may be looking for "keep it simple, stupid"
solutions specifically to encrypt Gmail. Here are several Firefox and/or Chrome
extensions that are free, yet so easy to use that even your technically
challenged friends or family could use them.
