Hi Cosmos,
I suggested using conventional encryption with PGP because Doc had
mentioned using encryption in his original post. The use of conventional
encryption does not require you to exchange keys with anyone. There
will be NO keyrings with everyone's public keys. The password/passphrase
is the key to encrypt/decrypt with. It is slightly better than the way
it was being done with WinRAR. With WinRAR, you *CAN* view the file names
inside the archives without extracting them. I'm sure you were aware that
anyone could download the WinRAR archives, open them in WinRAR, and view
the file name inside the archive without using a password.
Has no one in these groups played with this feature of PGP? If you use
conventional encryption and also check the box to create a self-decrypting
archive, the person downloading the file doesn't even need to have PGP
installed on their computer...all they need is the password.
Why does everyone automatically assume key exchanges and keyrings holding
everyone's public keys whenever PGP is mentioned? Does no one read their
documentation any more? I also can't believe that as long as I've been
around these groups and tried to offer help that people are saying that
I'm LEA and trying to set everyone up.
Oh well, I'll leave everyone to the *SAFETY AND SECURITY* of their Hushmail
accounts that everyone keeps recommending. We know how *safe* those are,
don't we? KidHacker and I were treated like we were crazy when we hinted
that Hushmail might not be as safe as everyone thought. We didn't feel
comfortable with a mail service that stored our encryption keys for us. I
guess the people arrested in the steroid busts shortly after that found
out.
Hushmail is as safe as using any other web-based mail service *AND*
exchanging
public keys.
Take care,
The Lookout
