PGP encryption and signing isn’t anything new.  I found some of my old public keys on old keyservers dating back to 1997 and was invented by Phil Zimmerman at around 1991.

Its not so simple to set up. a workable encryption system. I set up using GPA which is part of the free GPG4Win suite.  This is used to create the keys, publish them to key servers and  encrypt files  I have been using Thunderbird for ages, what is needed is the plugin for to tie it all together. Enigma is the plugin that ties it all together

Below is my public key, use it if you want to send me an encrypted message and/or signed message.   I’m curious to find out if .there is any  increased interest in security after the NSA and IRS scandals.  Me ??? I just want to be prepared just in case.
