Google has released a beta version of its client-side encryption for Gmail, allowing businesses to apply to test the functionality, which is designed to render "critical data" and attachments unreadable even by Google. The business revealed the beta, which Workspace admins can sign up until January 20th, in a blog post on Friday. When utilizing the web page of Gmail, they will also have the option. Client-side encryption will be enabled in Google's Gmail app for Android and iOS "in a new release," according to Google. Gmail users will be able to send encrypted emails to persons who use other email clients or providers, like Microsoft or Apple, shortly. This happens because CSE for Gmail is built on S/MIME, an established standard for email, a Google official explained. google-chrome-is-adding-price-tracking-to-your-pc

End-to-end encryption is now available in Gmail, although it is not the same as client-side encryption. Google's approach allows administrators to "watch users' encrypted data" and provides them control over the keys. The functionality was introduced to Drive last year when Google launched its revamped enterprise solutions, allowing business users to encrypt documents and spreadsheets. You will not be able to use the security features if you are using a personal account at this time.
