Whiteout Mail is an easy to use email client with integrated OpenPGP encryption written in pure JavaScript. Download the official version under [whiteout.io](http://whiteout.io).
We take the privacy of your data very seriously. Here are some of the technical details:
* Messages are [encrypted end-to-end ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption) using the [OpenPGP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy) protocol. This means that only you and your correspondents can read your mail.
* The client talks directly via IMAP/SMTP to your mail server. Your messages and private PGP key are stored encrypted on your computer and are never sent to our our servers.
* The app is deployed as a [Chrome Packaged App](https://developer.chrome.com/apps/about_apps.html) with [auditable static versions](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/releases) in order to prevent [problems with host-based security](http://tonyarcieri.com/whats-wrong-with-webcrypto). It uses raw [TCP sockets](http://developer.chrome.com/apps/socket.html) to communicate with the mail server.
* Mail server [SSL certificates are pinned](http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/29988/what-is-certificate-pinning) under [`src/ca/`](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/tree/master/src/ca) in order to protect against SSL certificate forgery and other man in the middle attacks.
* [Content Security Policy (CSP)](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/content-security-policy/) is enforced to prevent against injection attacks.
* The code is still under heavy development and is not yet recommended for production use. That being said, we have done multiple code audits and penetration tests (which will be published regularly once all reported vulnerabilities are fixed).
* We will launch a bug bounty program later on for independant security researchers. If you find any security vulnerabilities, don't hesitate to contact us [security@whiteout.io](mailto:security@whiteout.io).
* You can also just create an [issue](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/issues) on GitHub if you're missing a feature or just want to give us feedback. It would be much appreciated!
We work together with existing open source projects wherever possible and contribute any changes we make back upstream. Many of theses libraries are licensed under an open source license. Here are some of them:
