Increasingly, people are using electronic mail to send all kinds of messages, including legal correspondence, electronic love letters, business information and even transactions. Yet it is relatively easy to eavesdrop on these messages, and even to impersonate another user and send false messages. The solution: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), a powerful encryption program available in both commercial and public domain versions. This book is the first easy-to-follow guide to understanding what PGP does and how you can use it - ideal for the general user with no background in either cryptography or data communications.
