Title: PGP
Post by: TheSarge on July 25, 2009, 04:59:27 PM

I've always heard that this is a tough as nails encryption program.

Anyone here use it?  Would there be a reason for someone to use encryption on their home computer or laptop?

I suppose the most useful home applications would be to protect financial and personal data and to keep instant messaging secure.

I've used it.  It's not bad as an encryption program.

Most useful for e-mail.
