Google will provide the safest email service

After last year's relevations that the US government is secretly gathering data from our emails and phone calls, tech giants in Silicon Valley have been focusing increasingly more on offering their clients services with enhanced protection and security features.

With that in mind, Google is currently working on the ultimate security and privacy feature email service.

It's called 'End-to-End' and it is the best encryption available, so good that even hackers or the National Security Agency don't stand a chance.

The feature turns all emails into a jumbled code and it makes it readable only for the sender and the receiver of the email. The encryption is so good that it is spy material.

The same kind of encryption was formerly used by the ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden in order to communicate with journalists, before he went public with his information leaks regarding the extent of US government surveillance activities.

Currently, the program is in a public testing phase but, after it will be made available, users will be able to download it from Google Chrome and the feature will encrypt emails no matter what email service you use.

Stephan Somogyi, a Google product manager who oversees security and privacy, writes: 'We recognize that this sort of encryption will probably only be used for very sensitive messages or by those who need added protection. But we hope that the End-to-End extension will make it quicker and easier for people to get that extra layer of security should they need it.'

Google is not the only tech giant to put more energy into developing higher security programs.

Microsoft and Yahoo have also been encrypting information they store and transmit and Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has personally called President Obama and complained about the National Security Agency.

Moreover, all tech firms have reported that they have been requested to share data about their clients.
