End-To-End

End-to-End was a client-side encryption project that prototyped OpenPGP-compatible, end-to-end encrypted messaging in the browser. The idea was to move cryptographic operations entirely to the user’s machine—key generation, encryption, and signature—so messages remain unreadable to intermediaries. It packaged a JavaScript crypto library, UI elements, and a browser extension workflow that could integrate with webmail-style UIs without server changes. The codebase emphasized careful key handling, usability experiments around key discovery and verification, and mitigations against common web threats like XSS. While the project ultimately transitioned into successor efforts, it helped push discussions about practical E2EE in mainstream web apps and the ergonomics of PGP-style workflows. Security researchers and product teams used it as a design reference for client-side cryptography and the trade-offs of operating inside a hostile web page.
