How to Encrypt Your E-mail and Other Data
| Encrypting e-mail and files on your system can help keep them secure. You can use freely downloadable software called PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) to encrypt the files on your hard drive, or the e-mail messages you send. You can download PGP at www.pgpi.org (Figure 12.6). Figure 12.6. The PGPI web site offers the latest version of PGP for (free) download. Like WEP, PGP requires a key that you create to encrypt your data. Unlike WEP, PGP is a two-key system requiring a public key and a private key. You have a key that you make public by posting on a web site, for instance, or e-mailing to someone. You also have a private key, which you do not distribute. The public key is used to encrypt messages for you. You use your private key so that youand only youcan decrypt your messages. |
