[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] PGP email encryption? And files too!

[Drew King]

All,

There is a great open source program for Windows that integrates with 
Windows file Explorer giving it the opportunity to PGP encrypt files and 
folders on your hard drive.

I was thinking about the idea of encouraging personal files stored on 
cloud storage servers so companies like Google and Microsoft don't have 
read capability of the files on the server.

Is anyone perhaps interested in learning how to send and receive PGP 
encrypted email messages? I have been teaching myself how to use it with 
a variety of different clients and it's working quite well if anybody is 
interested in learning?

Currently, I have the ability to send and receive encrypted messages 
using either Google Chrome or Firefox and Gmail and Outlook.com. Digital 
signatures also. Digital signatures can be sent to anyone regardless of 
their email environment.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client and go through Gmail and 
also my personal domain and it works great for encrypting messages to 
and from other people that are also using PGP encryption capable email 
clients. That is the trick. In order to send an encrypted message to 
somebody you must both be using PGP and have exchanged each other's 
public keys.

There are a variety of open PGP compatible email clients on Windows Mac 
Linux browsers an android. The most famous being Mozilla Thunderbird 
which works across Windows Mac and Linux. And MS Outlook too.


Drew.
