PGP – Pretty Good Privacy and GPG – Gnu Privacy Guard are two softwares sharing the same key formats that puts strong encryption into the hands of the everyday Joe User out there. Since the governments in Europe are passing new laws directing that information about Internet communications should have to be stored a minimum of 6 months or longer this may be the time to start using secure email and IM communications.

If you want to communicate securely with me, here is my PGP/GPG key. For windows users I can recommend the GPG4Win package and if you are also using Thunderbird grab a copy of Enigmail (download, installation instructions) for easy and secure communications.

Please consider signing my key with yours and returning a copy of me (after verification of course). My keys are normally revoked or automatically expired after one year and a new key is installed here. I encourage everyone to use emails that can not be intercepted or read by a third person.
