==========
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).
### Features
You can read about product features and our future roadmap in our [FAQ](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/wiki/FAQ).
### Privacy and Security
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) standard. This means that only you and the recipient can read your mail. Your messages and private PGP key are stored encrypted on your computer and are never sent to our our servers.
* Like most native email clients whiteout mail uses raw [TCP sockets](http://developer.chrome.com/apps/socket.html) to communicate directly with your mail server via IMAP/SMTP.
* 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.
* 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).
* [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).
### Reporting bugs and feature requests
* 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!
### Testing
You can download a prebuilt bundle under [releases](https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/releases) or build your own from source (requires [node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/), [grunt](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started#installing-the-cli) and [sass](http://sass-lang.com/install)):
npm install && npm test
This will download all dependencies, run the tests and build the Chrome Packaged App bundle **DEV.zip** which can be installed under [chrome://extensions](chrome://extensions) in developer mode.
### Development
For development you can start a connect dev server:
grunt dev
Then visit [http://localhost:8580/dist/chrome.html#/desktop](http://localhost:8580/dist/chrome.html#/desktop) for front-end code or [http://localhost:8580/test/new-unit/](http://localhost:8580/test/new-unit/) to test JavaScript changes. You can also start a watch task so you don't have rebuild everytime you make a change:
grunt watch
