About this title

Synopsis

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is the practically perfect - and completely free - program for protecting your electronic data against unauthorized access. Just add WinPGP (included on the companion disk), shareware that puts a graphical interface on PGP's DOS format, and you have simple, point-and-click privacy. Concise, to-the-point, PGP Companion for Windows provides everything you need to know to create and distribute public keys; encrypt your communications, files and directories; use your secret key to guarantee your signature on documents; manage your keys; and recover from disaster.
In practically no time, you'll be able to encrypt company files on your laptop, in case it's lost or stolen; protect the privacy of your information and data sources; ensure the security of confidential information by using PGP to electronically "lock" reports and memos; prevent private communications from becoming public by requiring a "key" to read your e-mail; and guarantee your readers and correspondents that documents are genuine or that a signed memo actually came from you.

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.
