Encrypting Email with GnuPG

GnuPG (The GNU Privacy Guard) is a tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.

Installation

GnuPG is part of the Ports Collection.

Implementation

We strongly recomend you generate any keys on a local computer and not on a Virtual Private Server. GnuPG tends to be very picky about the quality of random numbers when generating keys.
