To minimize these risks and improve security, the following guide uses a suitable Desktop Email Client instead of webmail, paired with strong, end-to-end encryption that protects the contents so it can only be read by the intended recipient. Further, online providers can be hacked or coerced by adversaries to provide access for extended periods. Online systems can still be broken by an attacker capable of exploiting JavaScript flaws or undermining certificate authorities that provide encryption certificates for websites see Webmail. The following guide provides a higher security and privacy standard than relying upon online services such as ProtonMail or Lavabit, that promise "encrypted email" in transit or storage. See Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQCrypto). It is estimated that within 10 to 15 years, Quantum Computers will break today's common asymmetric public-key cryptography algorithms used for web encryption (https), e-mail encryption (GnuPG.), SSH and other purposes. OpenPGP encryption functionality is now built-in Thunderbird. Enigmail extension: No longer available.TorBirdy extension: No longer required in Whonix ™.Thunderbird in Whonix ™ comes with anonymity, privacy and security settings pre-configuration through the pre-installed anon-apps-config package. However, it is now easier to take advantage of encrypted email via the use of Thunderbird (Mozilla's email client), which includes a graphical front-end for using the GnuPG ("GPG") encryption program.
