Abstract:
With the ever growing number of data breaches on servers, its now more important than ever to secure sensitive information in a way that only intended
parties can decrypt/understand the message even if data itself is compromised. This is specially true for government agencies and officials, who have
always remained main target for attackers.
Government Officials are however not the only intended recipients. Shar ing business secrets and confidential messages is also a challenge using email
as medium. We intend to create an open system which can be easily adopted
by masses and can ensure complete confidentiality of data as well as user
identities. Our work will provide end to end encryption for emails. On top
of that, sender/receiver identity will also remain hidden from email client.
Only the sender and receiver will know who sent and who received. No one
else! To achieve this, we created a client side application which encrypts
email on client side and forward emails in a tor like way to hide sender receiver pair. Gmail is the most famous email client with 1.2 billion users
and therefore we created our application to extend Gmail functionalities to
include more privacy.
