Encryption/Decryption

• You can write e-mail like messages, encrypt them and send them via e-mail.
• You can receive and read encrypted e-mails.
• You can also encrypt end decrypt files alone -- either for storage or for later data exchange.

E-mail connectivity

The program communicates easily with your e-mail.

PGP standard

The program uses the PGP standard. Thus, this program is able (or at least should be) to exchange messages with other programs using PGP.

Security

PGP encryption is considered to be secure. Wikipedia states that "to the best of publicly available information, there is no known method for any entity to break PGP" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy as of 8 Aug 2006).

However, the author cannot accept legal liability for this statement, as in this field one can never be sure, one can just try one's best.

Limits:

This program makes your outside communication safe, i.e., mainly your e-mail.  It does not secure your whole computer. If you need an overall security solution, please contact a specialist.
