What
is PGP? |
|
PGP
is a program that gives your electronic mail something
that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. It does this
by encrypting your mail so that nobody but the intended
person can read it. When encrypted, the message looks
like a meaningless jumble of random characters. PGP
has proven itself quite capable of resisting even the
most sophisticated forms of analysis aimed at reading
the encrypted text. |

How
do I use PGP with my SSL-Enabled account? |
|
1. |
Get
PGP from www.pgp.com and install it on your home
machine (Most probably PGP for Win95). A PGP plugin
for Eudora is also available. |
2. |
Generate
a private/public key pair with your PGP program
(the PGP software from pgp.com does this automatically
when you install the software in Windows), export
the keys in 2 files (pubring.pkr and secring.skr)
and upload them to our server. Put them in the .pgp
directory inside you home directory (not in the
HTML directory) |
3. |
Edit
the mail.list file and make the webmaster alias
point to the E-mail address specified in your PGP
keys. |
4. |
Edit
the ssl_pgp_sample.html file as needed. This file
is created when SSL is installed. |
5. |
The
whole form submission is now going to be secure.
The form results will be submitted to you via Encrypted
mail and you will have to use PGP on your home computer
to decrypt the messages. |
NOTES:
Don't
choose an easy passphrase for your secret key and do
not forget the passphrase.
Cryptographic software is subject to certain import/export
regulations in some countries. |
