Fork and continuation of original work of gpg-mailgate project: https://github.com/fkrone/gpg-mailgate
Lacre (wax seal in Portuguese) is a content filter for Postfix that automatically encrypts unencrypted incoming email using PGP or S/MIME for select recipients.
This project is the continuation of the work of "gpg-mailfate" on providing open source, GnuPG based email encryption for emails at rest. All incoming emails are automatically encrypted with user's public key before they are saved on the server. It is a server side encryption solution while the control of the encryption keys are fully at the hands of the end-user and private keys are never stored on the server.
**GPG Lacre** (wax seal in Portuguese) is a content filter for Postfix that automatically encrypts unencrypted incoming email using PGP or S/MIME for select recipients.
This project is the continuation of the work of "gpg-mailgate" on providing open source, GnuPG based email encryption for emails at rest. All incoming emails are automatically encrypted with user's public key before they are saved on the server. It is a server side encryption solution while the control of the encryption keys are fully at the hands of the end-user and private keys are never stored on the server.
The scope of the project is to improve on the already existing code, provide easy to use key upload system (standalone as well as Roundcube plugin) and key discoverability. Beside providing a solution that is easy to use we will also provide easy to digest material about encryption, how it works and how to make use of it in situations other the just mailbox encryption. Understanding how encryption works is the key to self-determination and is therefore an important part of the project.
GPG Lacre will be battle tested on the email infrastructure of https://disroot.org (an ethical non-profit service provider).
