How would you implement a secure web interface to distributed encrypted storage? The moment a user wants to view email in their browser, it needs to be decrypted by Google's server (or decrypted by Javscript served from Google's server, which is equivalent from a security perspective).
For users who are willing to give up the web interface, there are many open-source email clients that provide strong encryption (e.g. Thunderbird + GPG).

- drivebyacct2 13y agoWhat a truly, truly, truly absurd statement. I run my own webserver and have Roundcube exposed. It's only accessible via my VPN and even then, it's HTTPS. So tell me, how are you planning to compromise that?
- jmillikin 13y agoIn fairness, if it's only accessible via VPN then your Roundcube instance is not part of the web.
