PGP – Authentication and Confidentiality
During 2013, the NSA (United States National Security Agency) scandal was leaked to the public, people started to opt for services that could provide a strong privacy for their data. Among the services people opted for, most particularly for Emails, were different plug-ins and extensions for their browsers. Interestingly, among the various plug-ins and extensions that people started to use, two main programs were solely responsible for the complete email security that the people needed. One was S/MIME which we will see later and the other was PGP.
