End-to-end encryption is being added to Gmail in order to provide an added layer of security when using the web. Customers will continue to have control over the identity services they use.

Users will be able to turn on the additional security by selecting the padlock button once they have accessed the feature. Some features will be disabled once activated.

Richendrfer mentioned in the email that client-side encryption is beneficial for organizations that have sensitive data.

All data at rest and in transit between the facilities are protected by the latest standards. It said that client-side encryption helps strengthen the confidentiality of your data while helping to address a broad range of data sovereignty and compliance needs.
Mail, contacts, and calendar are the odd ones out, as end-to-end encryption comes to most of Apple's services.
