PGP key

What is a PGP Key?​

  • PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an encryption technology designed to protect email communication by providing privacy and authentication.
  • A PGP key pair includes a public key (used to encrypt emails) and a private key (used to decrypt emails).
  • By using PGP keys, you can ensure that only the intended recipient can read the message you send.

Why Use PGP Keys for Email?​

  • Email Security - Email is often vulnerable to unauthorized access. PGP encryption secures email content, preventing third parties from reading your messages.
  • Sender Authentication - PGP verifies the sender’s identity, ensuring the email genuinely comes from the person claiming to send it.
  • Message Integrity - PGP helps maintain data integrity by ensuring that emails are not altered during transmission, giving both sender and receiver peace of mind.
