Summary
PGP & GPG is an easy-to read, informal tutorial for achieving electronic privacy on the cheap using the standard tools of the email privacy field - commercial PGP and non-commercial GnuPG (GPG). The book shows how to integrate these OpenPGP implementations into the most common email clients and how to use PGP and GPG in daily email correspondence both to send and receive encrypted email. PGP & GPG is written for the moderately skilled computer user who is unfamiliar with public key cryptography but who is, nevertheless, interested in guarding his email privacy. Lucas's relaxed tone makes this.
