so from a security standpoint, this is equivalent to the status quo, except transferring responsibility from Google to a small startup for maintaining keys? I'd be shocked if google doesn't encrypt emails at rest. Is there still plenty of inflight unencrypted SMTP traffic to worry about that this could address? I guess you have to worry about the recipient if you are sending email to a non gmail/hotmail/ymail address? |

Virtru allows you to send securely to any recipient, regardless of the email provider they use. The easiest way to read the secure message is to use the Virtru software to integrate with your existing email client.
Our iPhone client uses IMAP, so it works with any email provider that supports IMAP.
Our browser extension currently integrates with Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.com. If the Virtru browser extension does not integrate with your email provider, then we provide a mechanism to read the secure email in your browser without installing anything. However, you cannot reply securely without the Virtru software.
