Encrypted Email

If you want to send me an email that only I can read, you can encrypt it using PGP.

So what is PGP?

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a way to encrypt messages so that your messages to me can only be read by me.

To send me an encrypted email, you need two things: my public key (listed below) and a way to encrypt your message with it (like an email client that supports PGP or a separate PGP application).

My Public Key

Download my public key and import it into your email client or PGP software:

Fingerprint:

DAD7 2443 794D 377C 04D6 A13A 12C2 F8A1 9C4E 206E

That up there is my key's fingerprint. You can double check it when your email client or PGP software asks you to verify the key.

I'm going to add a more comprehensive guide to using this sometime soon. You can use XMPP or respond with via the forms under the blog posts.
