Freenigma: encryption for webmail services

Soon in a Firefox near you: freenigma is a Firefox extension that will allow you to encrypt e-mail that you write in your regular webmail service. However, initially it won’t allow you to upload your own keys, but will instead generate a key for you and do the key exchange for you (you will need to ‘invite’ your correspondes to use freenigma).

Looks like an interesting attempt at simplifying mail encryption. It will start rolling out in a week or so (August 21st); I can’t wait to see if it catches on.
