Mailvelope is a browser extension for Google Chrome and Firefox that allows secure email communication based on the OpenPGP standard. It can be configured to work with arbitrary Webmail provider.
Mailvelope uses the following OpenPGP implementation
- OpenPGP.js for the Chrome Extension and for the Firefox Addon
- Chrome Extension: beta
- Firefox Addon: beta
Mailvelope is available in the Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kajibbejlbohfaggdiogboambcijhkke
Check the releases section for latest builds of Firefox and Chrome installation packages.
If you don’t have grunt and bower installed, yet:
npm install -g grunt-cli bower
and then get and build the sources:
git clone git://github.com/toberndo/mailvelope.git
cd mailvelope
git submodule update --init
cd dep/chrome/openpgpjs
npm install && grunt
cd ../../firefox/openpgpjs
npm install && grunt
cd ../../..
npm install && bower install && grunt
grunt dist-cr
The extension will be in dist/mailvelope.chrome.zip.
grunt dist-ff
This will get you the latest firefox addons-sdk to build the addon.
The addon will be in dist/mailvelope.firefox.xpi.
Update your local repository:
# inside mailvelope folder
cd dep/chrome/openpgpjs
git pull origin master && grunt
cd ../../firefox/openpgpjs
git pull origin master && grunt
cd ../../..
grunt
# continue with 'grunt dist-cr' or 'grunt dist-ff'
There are a few more tasks available through grunt:
