5 sourcesGoogle End-to-End: Any update?
It's been a year since Google posted this update[1] on their end-to-end project and a month since the last commit.[2]
Yahoo announced a forked end-to-end extension in March[3] and while commits have been more frequent[4], they haven't released either.
Does anyone have any update on these?

An even harder problem, maybe: how could we make it so communications intermediaries don't know your social graph? The most exciting idea in this direction I know of is AGL's Pond:

But it comes with some more severe tradeoffs than just end-to-end encrypting your e-mail, like deliberately introducing delays in sending and receiving messages in order to create ambiguity about when communication took place.
