Email Encryption

I went to Reagan dot com to keep the NSA at bay, someone said to me a few days ago. Sorry, but that ain't going to do it. NSA is grabbing your email (probably) before it ever gets to the Reagan servers. The only way to keep your nuclear codes safe is to use encryption. I don't have any nuclear codes but here is a simple way to send encrypted Gmail with a Chrome extension.

Secure Gmail is simple and two people simply need a password. I don't see where it even takes any resources but maybe I am missing something. Here is a LifeHacker link discussing it.

Here is a link for http://www.mailvelope.com/ which has a Chrome extension. Here is Mailvelope's resource usage:

But Mailvelope is much more complex to set up than Secure Gmail.
