PGP, etc.

Thanks to revelations about the American National Security Agency (their GCHQ) and assurances from William Hague (about our GCHQ), there seems to be a lot of paranoia going around.

If you want to secure your emails, there's a system called PGP, Pretty Good Privacy. It's an encryption system that's been aroung for the last fifteen years or so, but it's still fairly solid and has gone through numerous upgrades. It's available in open source form from GNU Privacy Guard.

I've created a public key and placed it at the bottom of the blog if you want to use it to secure any emails to me.
