Back when I was in healthcare it was literally part of the process to use PGP. It was worthwhile!
Guess I’m lazy but there’s no way I’m copy pasting message after message after message from any messaging app into Kleopatra. PGP is great tech but awful usability.
Most systems auto incorporate the tech. There’s better ways out there.
Yep - just about every XMPP client for example.
In this video I explain how you can make any messaging or text service end to end encrypted and completely private by generating a PGP key pair and sharing public keys with your correspondents.
Some friends of mine tried this back in uni as a class project. Make an app that sends encrypted messages through Hangouts.
They showed me one of the very serious messages Google’s legal team sent them ordering them to stop.
Maybe if you used some kind of 80s sci-fi library cypher where it still looked like human readable words you could do it.
What legal grounds could google possibly have to prevent this
Using a service to interact with a service is usually against the terms of service.
If they were copy pasting by hand, probably nothing.
Isn’t that exactly what APIs are for though?
Some let you do it as well, but not all APIs are public.
Unfortunately only secure if the device used is also secure.
This does not excuse rootkits!
S2R security is simply not possible.
