Goopg – GPG for Gmail in Chrome and Chromium, Install in Linux Ubuntu and Debian Based Distro

Goopg is an extension for the Chrome and the Chromium browser which enables GPG sign and verification in the Gmail web page.
During the last few weeks I have been working on Goopg, a new extension for the Chrome and Chromium browser which allows one to sign and verify emails directly from the Gmail web page.

It consists mainly in two parts: an extension, which gets information from the Gmail web page, and a plugin (written in python) which silently verifies the emails, signs the outgoing messages and sends them via the Gmail APIs and a SMTP connection. For more information about the architecture, see the project documentation.

Future works:

• Support to Firefox and to other browsers
• Support to other Operating System, like Mac/OSx
• Support to encryption/decryption

To install Goopg in Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna, Peppermint Five, Deepin 2014, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0 and other Ubuntu derivative systems using ppa, open a new Terminal window and bash (get it?) in the following commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-goopg/goopg
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install goopg-chromium
