Digitally sign your messages, so that your recepients could check whether or not they were somehow changed en route to them, and 2. Exchange encrypted messages with other PGP users. Hope that helps. -- -=Robert Beata Golovniov | Lviv, Ukraine=- ~~ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Body=Embedded%20key ~~ Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things?

Re[2]: PGP advice
Hello Nick, Thanks to you and Brian for your input. NA Freeware or Payware? PGP is available in both flavours and in versions NA 6.5.8 and 7.0.4. What are your security needs? Do you currently have a NA Firewall? If not, be advised that PGP 7.0.4 has a very good rules-based NA Firewall along with an IDS (Intrusion Detection System), but they are only NA available in the payware version. I'm mainly playing with it for now, so I'll stick to freeware. My security needs aren't very high at the moment, but I expect them to increase before long. I do have a firewalls in place. I just got everyone at work on e-mail about 18 months ago (I'm considered the resident "computer genius", which is pretty scary, considering how little I know), and they're finally starting to make good use of it. Since our head office and our operations are about 400km apart, there's a lot of potential for e-mail use there. So far, I haven't worried a lot about security - we don't transmit anything that's really sensitive or that would be of much use to outsiders, and, frankly, few, if any, of the staff currently have the computer skills to get past the most elementary precautions. However, I expect both the skill level and the sensitivity of the material to increase, so I figure it's time to look into beefing up security, hopefully without overwhelming people with complexity.
