Mail encrypting
- Thread starter Giaguara
- Start date
I'm missing the option "Yes, if it's content is important" but so I've choosen "Yes"
Depends here on the content. Simple mails with normal chatting or simple questions i.e. go unencrypted. More important things leave here using my SSL enabled Mailserver in the US so the content is encrypted on its way from Germany to the mailserver. But of cause not on the way from there.
And really important things go encoded with PGP
And I also sign all my mails with PGP so if you receive an unsigned mail it's not from me

I looked into PGP but it is shareware - the method described above is completely free and provides 2048 bit encryption. While it does only serve one purpose (digital signatures and encryption in Mail) it does it very well and free! - Not only that but thawte has a copy of your keys incase you ever lose yours (imagine if all your mail was encrypted and you loose your key - then what are you going to do?)
I have no desire to pay for shareware when i can get everything i want for free - from a well known certificate agency! Also I read the reviews on version tracker for some of the PGP software for mac they said it was very buggy and very poor customer support.
I guess it would be handy to be able to encrypt files on their own - i admit i was looking through keychain at the secure notes trying to find a way to encrypt one specific file. - but thats not worth paying for to me

I always kepp GnuPG loaded, with the GPGMail plugin for Apple Mail, and GPGKey for managing keys, it offers most of the commercial PGP functionality in an open-source solution.
The problem: none of my friends or colleagues would even consider encrypting their mail, even if it pertained to personal, or even financial, information. They consider it too much effort. These are the same people who use unpatched Windows XP systems and open any attachment from a stranger claiming in bad english to have a fix for teddy-bear...
