PGP & GPG: Email for the Practical Paranoid
OpenPGP is the most widely used email encryption standard in
the world. It is based on PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) as
originally developed by Phil Zimmermann. The OpenPGP
protocol defines standard formats for encrypted messages,
signatures, and certificates for exchanging public keys.
PGP & GPG is an easy-to read, informal
tutorial for
implementing electronic privacy on the cheap using the
standard tools of the email privacy field - commercial PGP
and non-commercial GnuPG (GPG). The book shows how to
integrate these OpenPGP implementations into the most common
email clients and how to use PGP and GPG in daily email
correspondence to both send and receive encrypted email.
The PGP & GPG book is written for the moderately skilled
computer user who is unfamiliar with public key cryptography
but who is nevertheless interested in guarding their email
privacy. Lucas's trademark informal and relaxed tone makes
public key cryptography as simple and clear as possible, so
that any reasonably savvy computer user can understand it.
