Gmail introduced a restricted view option to enhance security for sensitive emails. While users can receive emails normally without encryption hassles, administrators can enforce this view to prevent local downloads on third-party servers. This feature allows for strict authentication and control over who can access sensitive communications, as organizations can revoke access easily. Google asserts that this method provides robust encryption, ensuring that the sender solely controls the message with a unique key set, regardless of the recipient's email platform.
By default, Gmail users won't have to go through this restricted Gmail experience, and emails will automatically decrypt when they arrive in their inbox if they are the intended recipients.
Because this option requires authentication with an approved account and identity provider, organizations can easily revoke access and apply additional security policies.
At a structural level, this approach offers more comprehensive encryption protection,
