Facebook Add Email Encryption Features

Jakarta - Facebook gradually began releasing OpenPGP functions for users who use email functionality in social networking. This feature allows users to add OpenPGP public key encryption to profile them for end-to-end in the email notification sent by Facebook to the user's email account.

Users can also divide OpenPGP keys from their profiles, with or without notification to enable encryption. They can be found in the public key on the Contact and Basic Info section under the heading About menu.In this way, Facebook as reported by Sci Tech Today, Wednesday (06/03/2015), seeks to continue to add security functions and privacy for users. October last year, Facebook made a new URL for users who want to access the company website using a browser Tor Onion browser.


Connection to the Facebook page itself has been secured using the HTTPS by default HSTS since 2013. More than 95% of the notification email is encrypted by validation that claimed to be very tight.


On the other hand, Facebook is still trying to earn the trust of the privacy rights activists, including one that uses cookies to track the browsing habits of users even when they are not connected to the service."It is very important to us, to make sure people who use Facebook to feel safe and trust their connections to Facebook safe," said Facebook.


OpenPGP is discussed since the early writing is one of the popular standards available to protect e-mail with the public key encryption. This standard is based on the core technology of PGP (pretty good privacy) that helps protect the content of messages, text and email files that are unreadable surveillance program.
