End-to-end email encryption is still ignored by almost all users. The mails
are left in the clear in the mailboxes of the web mail providers, where they
are frequently collected by attackers and lead to an escalation of the attack
due to the sensitivity of the mail content. We suggest a new and simplified
infrastructure to protect mail that is compatible with OpenPGP and S/MIME
and relies on an easy-to-use trust model without a central administration.
