About Gmail Encryption

The extension's aim is to enhance security in online communication. AES, a cipher that is considered one of the most secure, will be used to encrypt and decrypt messages. In addition, the key can be encrypted and decrypted using the Diffie-Hellman cipher, which eliminates the need for previous contact with the other communication member. Moreover, it is possible to generate a random one-use key and a pair of public and private keys.
