Gmail etc. could have provided encryption and authentication if they wanted to. Unfortunately they don't want to because their business model(s) rely on reading our emails.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoThis comment is rather silly. Gmail is a hosted service, and tgerefore, their servers would decrypt incoming email on your behalf. Therefore, they could still read your email.
- kelnos 15y agoNot at all relevant to my point. I'm talking about signing messages, not encrypting them. Authenticating messages is completely orthogonal to encryption and whether or not Google can read your mail.
- SagelyGuru 15y agoTrue, they could at least allow signing, good point.
