Social network Facebook is rolling out a feature to further bolster the security of its email service.
Announcing this on its official blog, FB said the feature had been brought in “to enhance the privacy of this email Content.” The encryption enables people to add OpenPGP public keys to their profile; these keys can be used to “end-to-end” encrypt notification emails sent from Facebook to a users’ preferred email accounts. People may also choose to share OpenPGP keys from their profile, with or without enabling encrypted notifications.
The post furthe said: People also receive information from us over channels such as email. Whilst Facebook seeks to secure connections to your email provider with TLS, the stored content of those messages may be accessible as plaintext (with attachments) to anyone who accesses your email provider or email account.
