Upon 21st birthday gmailGoogle has announced the main update that allows the enterprise users to send encrypted to the end (E2EE) to any user in any mailbox in several clicks.
This feature is unfolding from today in beta -version, allowing users to send E2ee emails to Gmail users to the organization, planning to send E2ee emails to any Gmail mailbox in the coming weeks and to any mailbox at the end of this year.
Making a new encryption model – an alternative to safe/multifunctional Internet extension (S/mime) Protocol – is distinguished in that it eliminates the need for sender or recipients to use custom software or exchange encryption certificates.
“This capacity that requires minimal effort for both IT -chamonds and end users to conduct the abstracts of traditional IT -composing and substandard user experience, maintaining expanded data sovereignty, privacy and security control, John Burke and Julien Duplant – Note.
Technology that nourishes e2ee emails -is encryption on the client’s side (CSE) that Google has already swept Gmail and other services such as calendar, disk, documents, slides, letters and meeting.
So, when E2ee email is sent to another Gmail recipient, the message is automatically deciphered at the other end. In the case of a recipient, which is not Gmail (such as Microsoft Outlook), the Google Email platform sends them an invitation to view E2ee email in a limited version of Gmail, to which you can access through the Google Workspace guest account to view and answer the message securely.
The fact that this is due to CSE means that the data is encrypted on the client before it will be transferred or stored in a Google cloud repository, making them unsolvable for other other organizations, including Google.
Having said one a significant difference Between CSE and E2EE is that customers use encryption keys, which are generated and stored in clouder management service, allowing the organization’s administrator to control the keys, withdraw the user access to the keys and even track encrypted files.
“First, at the structural level, this approach offers more complete encryption protection,” said Burke and Daiplane. “It doesn’t matter to whom you send the message what email they use will be encrypted and you are in a single control. There is only one set of keys and you are the only one who has them.”
“For -second, it’s simple and just in the implementation and use. It reduces friction for IT -chamonds, and for users, because no one needs to be Savant for encryption to do this job. It will save a lot of time and money, and finally will give them the way to what everyone crafts: encryption of email that is painless.”
