Cryptographic Software

What software tools are there to help keep my information safe from prying eyes?

PGP

What is PGP? Pretty Good Privacy or PGP is a hybrid crypto system combining some of the best features of both conventional and public key cryptography.

The combination of the two encryption methods combines the convenience of public key encryption with the speed of conventional encryption. Conventional encryption is much faster than public key encryption. Public key encryption in turn provides a solution to key distribution and data transmission issues. Used together, performance and key distribution are improved without any sacrifice in security.

What is OpenPGP? OpenPGP is the free open source version of PGP

International PGP home page, for freeware versions of PGP outside of US, including source code. Includes many foreign language translations of PGP and manuals.
