Do you use GPG or PGP to sign or encrypt your emai - P38 - 2005-05-02

I'm wondering what percentage of the group that reads this use GPG or PGP to encrypt or sign their email messages. If you answer the poll, how about adding a message to the topic to explain why or why not.

i dont use it because i dont send/receive any email that i consider needing encrypting

I like to encrypt my course work for College you never know what smack head is going

to try copy it I use gpg -e to encrypt also with -a to armor it :) little extra security.

Same here. I'll encrypt course work but that is only because I send it to myself. ;)

 

I asked one of my non-computer authenticated friends what he thought linux was and he thought it was a shampoo! [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]

I only encrypt mails when they contain sensitive information. But as this doesn't happen very often I voted 'no'. ;)

I have read that it only takes one to start a movement. Unfortunatly, i've not been able to get this movement to move. ;)

proof of the lack of interest in it is that all the posts here are from non-noobs :)

I use PGP, but only when emailing customers about "secure" or "sensitive" data.

 

*shrug* everything else I just don't care about. Not sure if thats the wise decision or not.
