Here is how you can set up PGP encryption in ProtonMail. Switzerland-based ProtonMail, which now offers its own VPN service for free, is one of the rare email providers with native OpenPGP encryption, so you don’t have the hassle with plugins and third-party software. In both cases, ownership of your private key means owning the key to your privacy.

Likewise, if someone gets a hold of your private key, it would allow them to read the email. The recipient then uses their own private key to unlock the encryption. When you use PGP to send an email, you need the recipient’s public key. PGP algorithms work by generating an encrypted session key. ProtonMail comes with PGP encryption by default so that you can easily encrypt your emails.

That is why you need to encrypt your email, so that they are only read by you and the intended recipients. Only you will know your plans.With free services like Google’s Gmail, a good rule of thumb is to always assume that all your emails are read or at least checked by AI bots for keywords. ProtonCalendar uses end-to-end encryption to keep all the sensitive information private and secure. The official blog post added, “The event title, description, location, and participants for every event are encrypted on your device before they reach our servers so that no third party (including ProtonMail) can see the details of your events. You can use it to keep track of your plans and appointments while keeping your data private.” Describing the new service, ProtonMail mentioned, “ProtonCalendar is the first fully encrypted calendar app.

The company announced the arrival of their new service in an official blog post. While the new, encrypted calendar has been in talks for some time, all ProtonMail users on a paid plan will gain access to ProtonCalendar starting today. The encrypted calendar by ProtonMail is part of the Swiss company’s privacy-focused alternatives to Google’s key products. The company has now come up with a new calendar, which is presently in public beta. Encrypted email provider ProtonMail is giving sharp competitions to its rivals, including Google's Gmail.
