I contributed to https://www.mailpile.is/ and am hopeful for this sort of encryption to become ubiquitous. I wont go so far to say that relying on SSL over https to protect data is dangerous, but I will say that client side encryption of email is much less vulnerable to attack.

I was able to sit in on a talk about the basics of cryptography every programmer should know and they explained some of the vulnerabilities of SSL over https which I never realized.
