Synopsis
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a software program for encrypting and protecting computer files and messages. As more computers connect to the Internet, the potential for unauthorized access to files increases. Fears of "info-thievery" have encouraged the unprecedented increase in PGP use since its introduction with the Internet community in 1991. This guidebook is easy to use with information Windows users need, in order to quickly acquire, install and use PGP with its graphical front-end, WinPGP. The need to protect documents from prying eyes and hackers isn't limited to Net surfers. Users wanting to limit access to information on their PC - at home or at work - can use PGP to increase the standard of computer-document security. This book provides an explanation of how users can secure files on their computers, send private e-mail that no one but the intended recipient can read, and ensure that all documents they send and receive won't be altered or forged. All levels are catered for in the education of utilizing the encryption system. Topics discussed include the terminology and development of encryption assessing the performance of such a system.
The basics and principles of PGP detailing private and public keys, digital signatures and related file-security topics are covered along with the steps towards locating and downloading PGP incorporating the installation of the system.
