[GNU/consensus] PGP Mail Client in the Browser

[Per Guth]

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/).
