GPG4Browsers Extension for Chrome that encrypts Your Data before sending

Developers at Recurity Labs developed a browser add on called as "GPG4Browsers" that implements the OpenPGP Message Format [RFC 4880]. This implementation is currently available for Chrome Browser with a Googlemail integration for encrypting, decrypting or signing emails.
The OpenPGP implementation supports all asymmetric, symmetric ciphers (except IDEA) and hash functions specified in the standard and implements the following use cases:
  • Encryption and description of message
  • Sign and verify message signatures
  • Import and export of certificates


However, unlike GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) the software currently offers no way of compressing data; The implementation is compatible with the GnuPG implementation standard settings except the standard compression used. To create a compatible message in GnuPG use the option --compress-algo none.
