Encrypting email with GnuPG
|
Conclusion
You don't drape curtains on your street-facing windows to conceal crimes. You do so to have some privacy. Thanks to Edward Snowden's courageous revelations, it's become clear that any (and maybe all) email messages can be compromised at strategic points of the Internet, so email encryption is a necessity if you want to maintain your privacy.
Complaints that email encryption is too cumbersome can be countered with the argument that configuring GnuPG takes less work than installing curtain rods. Those not console-savvy can use graphical tools for Thunderbird or KMail instead of the command-line instructions presented in this article.
