Pretty Good Privacy, Encryption for a secure digital life

Encryption!
Q. Does that that mean you're a terrorist?

[gently]
A. No - it means:-

• the people I email and supply code to can be certain it came from me - and that it has not been altered.
• if anyone gained access to my computers the passwords and information can't be read.

Q. But I heard if you've done nothing wrong you have no need to hide anything?

[gently]
A. Did the person that told you that

• have locks and curtains in their house?
• were they wearing clothes?
• do they use a bank with security?

Or do they do all their communication by shouting and sending postcards?...

Pretty Good Privacy is a simple to use form of encryption created by Phil Zimmerman.
