Gmail will soon be able to warn them users of for every e-mail that arrives if it is under an unencrypted connection (ssl).
Η Google already uses the use of HTTPS on gmail, in order to ensure the encrypted connection between the user's web browser and its servers. Also, Google as well as other email providers have started it encryption of connections to their servers. But not everyone does, at least not yet.
A Google research program in collaboration with Michigan University and the University of Illinois found that email security has improved over the past two years and that 94% of incoming messages to Gmail comes along with some form of identity. But there is still a 6% moving without certification.
Google found it also malicious DNS servers serving fake ones information routing to email servers.
To protect its users, Google has decided to warn email recipients which of their incoming emails are not encrypted from the beginning to the end. This feature is expected to come in the coming months.
