How is this secure? Ok, I can see that if the message is served over
https, then the network packages themselves cannot be sniffed
easily. But as long as the recipient did not give you the key to
use, then this is not secure. Why should the recipient trust the server?

Whether there is an open source solution, I don't know however.
