Google will now let business account users try end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for email, which will prevent even Google from seeing the contents of messages. It's just like sending an E2EE message in WhatsApp, Signal or iMessage in this regard. Despite the insecure nature of email in general, end-to-end encrypted email is completely secure and a real boon to security. The problem is that nobody uses it.
"[Implementing] and using encryption can be challenging for some people, especially those who are not tech-savvy. Encrypted email requires the use of digital certificates and keys, which can be confusing and intimidating for some users. This can make it difficult to achieve widespread use of encrypted email, even if it is technically possible,” technology advisor Stéphane Paquet told Lifewire via email.
When this feature is enabled, business account users can click a padlock icon when composing an email, and it will be securely locked until the recipient opens it. The feature is also coming to Google's iOS and Android apps.
