Description
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 a file. The complete message is required for validation. Existing mail clients however do not provide access to the complete message. - If you are using O365, please make sure that SMTP is enabled.
Permissions:
The Contacts permission is required to lookup the recipients for the compose page. If the Contacts permission is not granted, the application will function correctly but recipients cannot be looked-up.
CipherMail, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, provides products for the protection of email. CipherMail Email Encryption Gateway is an open source centrally managed email server that encrypts and decrypts email at the gateway level.
Installation packages are available for Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, CentOS etc. A free ready to run Virtual Appliance for VMware and Hyper-V is available.
Recent changes: We updated the app with changes required by Android 14 and Android 15 (API levels 34 and 35). The Wizard buttonbar was moved to the top of the screen so it is not hidden by the soft keyboard. We added a note about a change in Gmail: for a sender gmail address, it now does matter where the dots are in the email address.

Comments on CipherMail Email Encryption for Android
★★★★★A Google User· Jun 30, 2015
Get it, use it! Everyone has their reasons for wanting signed or encrypted email. Cipher Mail definitely made it easy to add S/MIME capabilities to K9 Mail. Took me a minute to figure out getting it to work with self-signed server SSL certs, but was smooth after that. Highly recommend.

Awesome What a great application. Easy to Set up and installs keys and certificates easily. Integrates perfectly with native gmail app. Used free certificate from Comodo and it was so easy to do. Don't rate this app bad just because you don't understand S/MINE and encryption protocols.

Excellent product. Got it working with START SSL class1 client cert Impressive I got it working on my Nexus 7 using an otb USB cable and the Nexus Media Importer app to upload the.p12 certificate key. Great functionality...but I also had to find and upload the INTERMEDIATE certificate, which was missing. Otherwise, the app would not validate my cert and allow my cert to be used. Nice work! I can't imagine any product working better in the android os. Running Android 4.3

This only implements half of the solution. You can send encrypted emails all right, but in order to receive encrypted emails you need a separate client. If it integrates well with your client of choice, fine; otherwise, this is not what you are looking for. (07/14/22) Seven years after my first review, the situation has not changed. Removing one star: in seven years the developer could have implemented the complete solution.

Cant use with 2 step authentication on gmail when sending email.

Won't recognize smtp host. Works on incoming encrypted mail on non-gaming server. Won't resolve smtp host.

No documentation didn't work with Comodo 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.
