However this is a paid service ( one-month trial included ) and the aim here is to move away as much as possible from proprietary software. GPG Mail integrates GPG into the stock macOS mail client app. GPG Suite will install a bunch of services including GPG Mail. These keys can also be used to sign messages and check the authenticity of other people’s signatures. You should never share you private key with anyone, under any circumstances. The private key is something you need to keep to yourself, and is used (alongside GnuPG ) to decrypt the encrypted emails you receive. The public key is something that can be sent ( or posted online or uploaded to online directories called keyservers ) to other people so they can encrypt the mails they send to you. These keys are a long string of randomly generated number and letters and are linked together. To use GPG you’ll need a keypair which consists of a public key and a private key. PGP which stands for “Pretty Good Privacy” or OpenPGP is the encryption standard and GNU Privacy Guard ( aka GPG or GnuPG ) is the program that implements the standard.Įnigmail ( you’ll see below ) is just an add-on that provides an interface for GnuPG. GnuPG, GPG, GNU Privacy Guard, PGP or OpenPGP are pretty much the same term. ![]() You’ll probably learn some new terms here.

Most of us, 99% of the time, have nothing to hide, but that doesn’t mean we should give everything away, for free, on a silver f***ing platter.Įmail encryption is easy, and you won’t have to spend a dime as we’re going to use only free and open source tools.įirst things first. Privacy is a fundamental right and “I have nothing to hide” is a bullsh*t argument for not using encryption and has nothing to do with privacy. Like it or not we need to start using encryption in everyday tasks. ![]()
