Encrypted E-Mail is not the problem, there already are packages that install gpg without any hassle. What must be solved is the problem of which keys to trust. The web of trust just doesn't work. Are there any concepts how to solve this with Bitmask?

The key distribution is the actual problem that bitmask try to address (https://leap.se/en/docs/tech/hard-problems), it tries to make transparent the key discovery but keeping it as secure as possible. But this is still a work in progress.
