GnuPG ...
Do any of you use PGP/GnuPG?

I've been signing/encrypting my e-mail for so long I don't remember when I started using it. (And, of course, people using Linux us it all the time for authentication of packages and the like.) Only some of the people with whom I correspond use it so that we can communicate privately, but I sign everything anyway. If there ever is any question of whether an e-mail actually originated with me, that would prove it did.

Anyway, I was just curious. I was updating my keys tonight as I had set the one I'd used for awhile to expire soon, and I got to thinking about it when I sent out my new key to those who need it.

More people should use this. Sending e-mail unencrypted is like sending a letter without an envelope. Anyone can (and many do) look at it. In all the discussions we have on DU about privacy rights, seldom does this issue arise. If you really want to stop any random individual from looking at your private communication without spending potentially tens of millions of dollars on a single individual to try to break the encryption, this would do it.

My public key, in case anyone might ever find need of it ...
