Components
Status: Work in progress
The software components we plan to change or consider as part of the contract:
- email clients (Kontact Mail and Thunderbird with Enigmail as example for others)
- GnuPG backend
- a service located at the email service provider
- central fallback server
- classic certificate ("key") server
How should an improved email client work?
User A wants to send a signed/encrypted email to user B. A has only the email address of B. A's email client gets the OpenPGP (public) certificate from B's email service provider (step 1+2) which is used to encrypt the email to B.
