PGP - Pretty Good Privacy
The International PGP Home Page (EFF)
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a program that gives your electronic mail something that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. PGP can also be used to apply a digital signature to a message without encrypting it. Find out more, and use this valuable tool for democracy!
