I was listening to a computer forensics podcast while at work today and they were discussing Freenigma. Freenigma is a Firefox extension that allows you to encrypt most webmail emails including GMail, Hotmail, and Yahoo! Mail. It’s by invitation only but you can register for an invitation. This is very similar to FireGPG which I’ve posted about before but FireGPG only works with GMail. Once I get my invite to download Freenigma, I’ll try it out and post my opinion about it.
I was checking out Digg.com and saw a story submitted about a Firefox extension, called FireGPG, that adds encryption to webmail. Lately I’ve gotten more into PGP/GPG encryption including sharing my public key here and allowing encryption on my Contact Me page.
FireGPG is a Firefox extension which brings an interface to crypt, decrypt, sign or verify the signature of a text in any web page, using GPG. It will support some webmails. Right now, only GMail is supported, some useful buttons are added in the interface of this webmail !
