GPG for your browser.

Hash: SHA1

I use Gmail, there is no out of the box method for a browser to talk
to my local GPG software without third party programs, and once I find
one will it be able to work specifically inside text input areas? I
found some that work well for me.

Amazingly, there are lots of methods or plugins to sign/encrypt and
verify/decrypt PGP/GPG 7 bit messages via the clipboard or browser, I
have been dinking around specifically with two products.

Seahorse - GnuPG frontend including clipboard text encryption gnome applet -

  Just select text into the X11 clipboard and the panel applet lets
you immediately
  perform GnuPG functions on the selected text. Once completed it moves the
  result of the operation to the clipboard for immediate paste.
Source available.

  This software also acts as a GPG and SSH key agent

FireGPG - GnuPG plugin for Linux/Windows

  This Firefox 2.0 browser plugin allows right click access to
modifying HTML form
  text input areas. It can take the entire contents and perform simple GnuPG
  commands without a lot of trouble, as well as it incorperates well with Gmail,
  allowing instant verification on signed messages.

  I have not found a method of encrypting a message against multiple
keys however.
