Hey there everybody, it's Alfred702. As you probably know, I like to bark a lot about security, but I think it's time I show some bite. No pun intended.
With PGP, we have the ability to completely secure end to end communications. This comes at a cost though: users must generate their own keys client side and this process can take forever. To make the matter simpler, Key Base provides an excellent JavaScript implementation for browser side key generation.
As you probably guessed, I'm trying to create a plugin that will take a user's friend PGP key (assuming they made one) and will automatically be able to decrypt on the fly (assuming the end user has their private key available in JSON format) making communication between users completely secure.
I have began development and am willing to work with anyone who would like to contribute. Thoughts?
