Gmail may be an excellent Web-based email application, but there is no easy way to use it with privacy tools like GnuPG. The FireGPG extension for Firefox is designed to solve this problem. It integrates nicely into Gmail's interface and allows you to sign and encrypt not only email messages but also text snippets from any Web page.
Since FireGPG integrates tightly into Gmail, using it to sign and encrypt emails couldn't be easier. Simply select the entire message body, or just the part you want to sign or encrypt, and press either the Sign or Crypt button. Enter the password you specified when you created the key pair, then select the key you want to use, and press OK. This signs or encrypts the messages or the text selection. Keep in mind that when signing the message, you should choose your private key, and when encrypting the email, you have to use the recipient's public key (you can import it into KGpg using the Keys -> Import Key command).
