About CipherMail Email Encryption

CipherMail for Android is an Android application which can be used with your existing Android mail application to send and receive S/MIME digitally signed and encrypted email with an Android smartphone.

Features:

- S/MIME 3.1 (X.509, RFC 3280), email encryption and digital signing
- Can be used with the Android Gmail application
- Compatible with existing S/MIME clients (like Outlook, Thunderbird etc.)
- Message and attachments are encrypted
- HTML email support
- Certificates are automatically extracted
- CRLs supported (LDAP and HTTP)
- Certificate trust lists (CTLs) for black/white listing certificates
- LDAP servers can be searched for certificates
- Can generate self-signed certificates for a 'private-PKI'

Notes:

- CipherMail for Android does not provide functionality to retrieve email. An existing Android mail application, for example Gmail, K9 or the default Android email client, should be used to retrieve the encrypted attached smime.p7m message.
- Clear signed digitally signed message can only be verified by opening the message as an .eml file from the sdcard. The complete message is required for validation. Existing mail clients however do not provide access to the complete message.

Permissions:

- The GET_ACCOUNTS permission is required to get the default sender address
- The READ_CONTACTS permission is required to lookup the recipients for the compose page

Feedback on some reviews:

CipherMail is fully functional and has been tested on the Galaxy tab despite Mr Croucher negative and false claims. The reason he could not import the keys was that he didn't understand the difference between private keys and certificates and kept on trying to import a .pfx file with the certificate import wizard (which is only for importing certificates, not keys).

Paula reported that she couldn't find any certificates. CipherMail cannot "automagically" find all externally used certificates. There are three ways to get certificates for recipients: extracted from digitally signed email, manual import or, a certificate can be downloaded from an LDAP server.

About the integration of CipherMail and email clients. CipherMail registers itself as an application to handle S/MIME attachments (smime.p7m). If a mail application can download the smime.p7m attachment, it can be decrypted by CipherMail. Most Android email clients cannot be extended by external apps. Improved integration between existing email clients and CipherMail can only be done if the email client supports plugins.

What are users saying about CipherMail Email Encryption

Great app and implementation. However it took some time to extract all needed root certificates and import/move them into the right place. Once configured correctly if works like a charme. Would be good to add some better first time configuration assistant for root certificates.

K70%
by K####:

I mainly use this app to view signed emails. Moat email clients display signed messages as smime p7m attachments. This app parses the message correctly. Thanks for the app.

H70%
by H####:

Interesting concept - this is really a complimentary app to your existing email client in that it can be used to open the smime attachment that is displayed by most email clients that can't handle smime. However if the received email is only signed and not encrypted then when viewing the smime.p7s attachment it tries to import certs rather than check the signature. Not much use. Sending signed only email does work in that they are shown correctly using a proper email client such as outlook on Windows.

Works great with Gmail and Comodo certs. A tutorial or documentation would be nice, but I knew enough to figure it out.

R70%

Great solution that doesn't require changing email client.

Probably the only usable S/MIME client for Android

Y70%

It opens encrypted and encrypted emails (.7pm)

D70%
by D####:

This app is great! Has very nice features. Though I would like to see ability to easily switch accounts and ability to verify signatures

Y70%
by Y####:

Loving this email app as in this day and age email encryption and signing is becoming more important. Took a bit too get it going on gmail but a very prompt response to a question to the developer, Martijn, and all working beautifully. Well done to the developers.

Never got it to function.

R70%
by R####:

Too technical and complicated; should be more user friendly.

R70%
by R####:

Great redesign, I do hope better ciphers are added in the future for encryption and update the digest algorithm to remove old ones like md5.

S70%
by S####:

Good

R70%
by R####:

Never got it to function.

K70%
by K####:

No instructions on how to do anything. Unable to encrypt a message. Unable to create a key. What is my password as I never created one, but you require it? In its present form, the software is useless.

K70%
by K####:

You go to Settings>>Account>>Select Signer. You then have to choose Import Keys. Originally I selected Import Certificates but it only looks for certificates with the following extensions (*.cer, *.crt, *.p7b, *.pem and *.der). Selecting Import Keys allows it to find the Comodo certificate which is a *.pfx format. It works.

D70%
by D####:

Works smoothly with Google Gmail App, even with two level security. Reliable and fast. Love it!

J70%
by J####:

It works well on my Galaxy Nexus, and on my Galaxy Tab.

K70%
by K####:

Works good

K70%
by K####:

Only one I've seen for Android. It's obvious a lot of thought went into making it simple to use.

D70%
by D####:

Solid application, and awesome that S/MIME is brought to Android, but I would prefer tighter integration with K9, so I can send signed email with my newly created certificate. I'd rather not use the djigzo app itself to send my signed mail. Maybe AGP will support S/MIME before djigzo gets tight K9 integration?

X70%
by X####:

Excellent app, fills a huge gap. Move to SD would make it 5 star for me...

K70%
by K####:

best app for x509 encrypted email for android. do not search longer.

K70%
by K####:

Amazing program, but I do not appreciate the lack of a privacy clause in the mandatory agreement, and for this reason, do not want to register.

K70%
by K####:

Cannot get this to find certificates! No support! Useless.

K70%
by K####:

But thats cos ive no business using this i guess. If i cant use ill not. I sent one encrypted to my mum but 2nd time i tried to her it said she didnt have an encryption key do i wanna search? Id already made my own and as said used it once to her?

K70%
by K####:

1. my review is few moths old, I switched to other phone and there is S/MIME encryption supported so I haven't tested it anymore 2. In that time it was not able to work with Enhanced Email client

T70%
by T####:

Or if there is support I cannot find it.

C70%
by C####:

Wish integration was more seamless.

M70%
by M####:

Whose fault? Comodo? No documentation about Chrome and Android. Google? Chrome doesn't export a certificate on my tablet, the cutesy certificate installer says it installed, but doesn't show up anywhere. Or the app? Comodo is more or less the name of the free cert game, but there is no documentation of how to get their cert and install. Whole afternoon wasted in failure.

V70%
by V####:

The interface really needs a redesign, I also changed the paraphrase timeout and it often resets back to 60 seconds. After a message is sent it should go back to the main screen not stay in compose.

N70%
by N####:

Convenient to use. Scilent

X70%
by X####:

I'm very pleased with the ease and user friendly secured app. Thanks to the Dev Team.

X70%
by X####:

download the app, check! get free email certificate from comodo, check! import key to djigzo, check! select certificate, check! send test email, check! no problems if you know what you are doing. Only thing missing is a good public ldap server to register the public key with so that people can start exchanging keys easier, google? are you listening?

T70%
by T####:

I'd say "read this NSA"! But it uses RSA. Still a very good app and rather easy to config

T70%
by T####:

Good application! Support of native E-mail client (in addition to GMail client application) has made this software much more comfortable! 5 stars

T70%
by T####:

So, when installing it asks for permissions to my call logs. Why would an email encryption program need access to call logs?

V70%
by V####:

Work perfect

T70%
by T####:

In my environment it worked better than Moxier - and it's free! It worked with Gmail and K9 apps. Its interface is simple and straightforward. I can't express enough appreciation for this nice and useful software. And the speed of bug fixes!
