Email Encryption guide
Until just a few decades ago, the vast majority of conversations between individuals were empirical, and faded from existence as memories faded. With the creation of the Internet and email, most of these conversations now exist indefinitely, apart from the memories of the participants. This has profound consequences that most have yet to think about.
Simple email encryption with FireGPG is a guide for ordinary Internet users who want to learn how to securely send and receive encrypted email messages. This hands-on guide is platform independent, which means that it is applicable for anyone using Windows, Mac OSX with an Intel processor, and any form of *NIX operating system (Linux, BSD, Solaris).
This guide will be updated periodically to reflect changes in the FireGPG extension, as well as to fix typoes and clarify various parts of the guide.
