How To Use PGP – Step-By-Step Guide To Privacy

The problem is, there are a lot of bad people using the Internet. Not only do you have criminals roaming the Internet looking for information they can use to benefit themselves, there are also governments snooping into your private data. Every time you send an email it is the same as putting a postcard into the postal system with the information in plain view. Anyone snooping around can read your stuff. Do you really want to allow hackers on the Internet to read your personal information? Do you want to publish publicly your banking information or health details any time you communicate by email?

The solution is to take control of your privacy and security by encrypting your emails. The first reason for doing this is so that you turn any information into unreadable gibberish not able to be scanned and decoded by the big data collectors. Another reason for using PGP is for the signing of emails and this is so you know the persons sending you messages are who they say they are. With just a few simple, easy to take steps, you can reduce the possibility your electronic data and information can be stolen in order to be used against you.

This book, Good and Geeky Email Privacy and Security aims to demystify and make easy, the use of Pretty Good Privacy, the free version of Open PGP and GPG. Step-by-step guides showing you how to encrypt passages of text, encrypt whole files as well as sending and receiving encrypted emails. The whole premise of the book is to make it simple for the ordinary computer user so that we all have the ability to communicate privately across the Internet.

The book concentrates on using OpenPGP on the Mac and on iOS but also mentions briefly programs you can use on Windows and on the Chrome platform. Get the book if you want to take control of your email security and privacy. You can avoid your electronic data being the easy to pick, low hanging fruit for the criminals of the Internet.
