Google announces the launch of an enhanced client-side encryption standard for Gmail, coinciding with the service's 21st anniversary. This new standard aims to replace the older S/MIME protocol, which, while widely used, presents complexities for IT teams in managing encryption due to certificate requirements. Many organizations struggle to implement effective end-to-end encryption due to these existing limitations, which often hinder optimal user experiences. Google's effort seeks to simplify email encryption for users and make it more accessible for organizations needing to comply with regulatory obligations.
When you talk to any IT admins, they'll tell you a few things about encryption...the current state of encryption is super hard to implement across the email ecosystem.
S/MIME functionality is widely used, it is not always enabled by default...and only works when both sending and receiving parties meet the standard.
