[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Securing your email in Google Drive.

[Drew King 65]

Hi all,

I use as some of you know PGP encryption on my Google Gmail.

Sending somebody an encrypted message is one thing but receiving mail from anyone and everyone that lands in your inbox in an encrypted state is something a little bit different.

Many of you may find that it is unnecessary to exchange encrypted mail end to end with others certainly more than one person and it's difficult to receive encrypted mail from everybody that you get mail from.

Some of you may have heard of a company called proton. They have a company that is a part of proton called Simplelogin.

I pay simplelogin about $30 per year to encrypt all of my Gmail that comes from most everybody.

Basically what I do is create an alias email address for myself so that all inbound mail goes through the simple login server gets encrypted with my pgp public key and then forwarded on to Gmail where it lands in the mailbox encrypted.

If you send me email at drew at doodles.simplelogin.com it will be automatically encrypted before it is delivered to my inbox.

Nothing is required at your end to have the email encrypted before it lands in my inbox. This way Google can't read my email.

Right now some people still have and use my personal domain email address which is not encrypted but I am gradually converting everybody that I communicate with to simple login email address alias.

I can discuss this with anybody that is interested and perhaps even talk about it during a potpourri.

Does this sound interesting to anybody?

By the way this model that I follow works for pretty much all mail providers.
