You know what would be the holy grail for me? End to end encryption so easy that my mother and girlfriend can use it. Sending or receiving sensitive data electronically is just damn near impossible when you're trying to send it to people who aren't tech savvy.
I don't know how many times my parents have sent me sensitive information in plain text without even blinking an eye, even after I tell them not to. Scary.
What do you mean? Encryption is already built into some platforms, and is behind the scenes so you wouldn't know this sensitive data is actually already being encrypted.
Please be more specific. I don't trust Google or Yahoo to keep my emails secure, which is why I mentioned end to end encryption. I personally use an openmailbox.org account and Evolution mail client, which has built in GPG support. But setting it up (creating/importing/exporting keys, configuring the email client, etc.) tends to be beyond the abilities of tech illiterate people.

Yeah. I'm awaiting the time where it will become more accessible for the common, non-tech inclined people to easily use encryption/decryption.
