Why you should use encryption

There's been some changes in the way you get Pretty Good Privacy these days. Network Associates no longer seems to offer PGP for free. Indeed, they don't seem to offer PGP at all, nor are they supporting it.

But, never fear! You can still find PGP on the Internet. PGP International site. Cryptome has a boatload of PGP and other crypto resources available.

PGP is back online! There's a new company, PGP, Inc., that has bought the rights to diverse PGP products from Network Associates. New PGP crypto products are being shipped, including PGP for the Palm OS and for Mac OS X. PGP, Inc. has promised to continue to provide freeware versions of PGP for the Mac and Windows!

My brother in Dobbs, Modemac, has a killer crypto page with Windows resources and links. HIGHLY recommended!

Tom McCune's PGP Page is a great general/Windows PGP info resource. This page is also pretty good and has some links to online tutorials. This site has some Macintosh PGP info and resources.

EPIC, the Electronic Information Privacy Center.

As always, Google is your friend.

The provincial government of Ontario officially encourages it's citizens to use encrypted email. Read the paper, "Email encryption made simple" here.

A lot of this page was out of date, and I regret that I haven't kept it up to date. There will be a whole new page of personal cryptography and privacy resources to replace this page soon.

In this new world, post 9/11/2001, while the U.S. government shreds the Bill of Rights and laughs at how impotent the 4th Amendment has become, personal crypto and privacy enhancing software becomes more important for the average citizen to have access to, the better to shield themselves from the overbroad snooping and now warrentless searching that now is the norm.

For myself, the Feds are against personal cryptography. Reason enough to use it, as far as I'm concerned!
