This Page has been established in conjunction with, and based on many contributions from, members of the PGP-Users Mailing List. The site is intended to serve as a repository of general links related to PGP, PGP related programs (such as shells, add-ons/plpineugins), Anonymous Remailers, Pseudonymous Remailers, or just about anything that is associated with PGP or Privacy (including the politics of both). The links will also help guide you through the process of obtaining a copy of PGP, creating your own Public Key and distributing so others can obtain it to communicate with your privately. Privacy is very important to us and the Internet as a whole is not a very private place, although few recognize that fact. The links here, and the discussions on the list will highlight this fact.

How to Get PGP FAQ You want it, you need it, here's the FAQ on how to get it. Everything else on this site will try and make it easier for you to use. Hopefully!

• A Newcomer's Introduction to PGP. A fine begginers level introduction to using PGP written by Anthony Greene, a member of the PGP-Users mailing list. It contains helpful information on why you might want to use it and the various helpful things it can do.
• PGP Jump Start is another beginner's must read, but, while it only relates to PGP 2.6.X, many of the fundamental concepts have never changed.
• Aegis Shell 3.0 Although no longer supported by Aegis Research, the Aegis shell is a fine Windows based front end for PGP 2.6.X, and its freeware too.
• Andre Bacard's Home Page
• Andre Bacard's Privacy Page
• Andre Bacard's E-mail Privacy FAQ and his PGP for Novices Page
• Semi-Offical Alpha.C2.org Remailer FAQ For everyone looking for some info on NYM Remailers and cannot find it, here it is! (NOTE: The alpha.c2.org remailer is no longer operational. However, the instructions apply to all cypherpunk type remailers, just don't try to use them verbatim for the alpha.c2.org remailer. Use them for your favorite working remailer, which can be identified from Raph's Famous Remailer list, located in our Remailer Info Links section.
• Anonymity and Privacy on the Internet
• BAL's PGP Public Key Server HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN GET THE PUBLIC KEYS OF OTHERS, or post your public key and make it available to anyone in the world. Do it here, and NOT on the PGP-Users Mailing List. . .please.
  
  Here are at least two other places to look for the public keys of those you want to correspond with in PGP induced privacy:
  • PGPNet Key Server Page Courtesy of PGP-Users subscriber William Geiger. This one probably has links to every keyserver in existance (and then some). Check out Bill's contributions to PGP for OS/2.
  • PGP-Users Key Server Search Form In PGP 5.0 and RSA flavors, right on this site for your use and enjoyment. This mirrors William Geiger's site in the link above (updated about twice a month, whereas Mr. Geigers is updated nitely).
  
  One of the most common issues discussed on the PGP-Users mailing list regarding keyservers is how to remove your key once you, or someone else, has placed it there. The short answer is you can't (although never versions of PGP have a "remove from keyserver function", it generally works only with LDAP based keyservers). The thing to do is to revoke your key and put the revovation certificate on the server. Its the number one item on our PGP-Users "Do's and Dont's list" where you can learn from the mailing list's collective mistakes and hopefully not make the same ones. Here is some information to get you started on researching the very common list topic of attempting to delete your key from a public keyserver:
  • Instructions for the First Time Keyserver User, focusing on key removal, revocation and disbling, but the entire documents is a worthwhile read for keyserver users.
  • MIT PGP Keyserver FAQ- Section on key removal. You will not like the information here if you have lost access somehow to your secret key and do not have a key revocation certificate available.
• The Bat is an e-mail program with built in PGP support and loads of features with very low memory overhead. Give the evaluation version a try.
• Becky Win '95 E-mail front end with PGP Capability.
• C-KT Page The Cyber-Knights Templar Page, hosting the C-KT version of PGP, permitting keys of up to 16K in length.
• Cryptography, PGP and your Privacy Francis Littero's PGP-Related Page- probably the oldest on the 'net (dating from June 1993).
• Father Bill Morton's PGP Page
• Fred's PGP Page No. Its another Fred. :-)
• The First Cut is the Deepest Contains interesting privacy links, including one to the Zimmermann Telegram, and to the First Cut Freedom Emailer, an anonymous remailer.
• Graphic Ideas' PGP Links
  
• PGP For Groupwise. Here is the place to get the plugins to integrate PGP with Groupwise. It has the plugins for many different compinations of PGP version and Groupwise which makes the integrations absolutely seamless.
• Integrating Pine and PGP-Listings for front-ends and scripts to make it a breeze to integrate pine and PGP.
• The International PGP Home Page
• Kriptopolis An explanation of PGP in Spanish and much, much more.
• MKPGP2.1 A great tool for Pine users to integrate with PGP 2.6.X (no, it does not work with PGP 5.X).Distributed with the author's permission. This will automatically look up a key on the keyservers if you try and return someone's message and their key is not on your ring.It will then, of course, add the key to your public ring, all transparently. The best yet for this job.
• MacPGP 2.6.3 Home Page This is the latest version with PowerPC optimized code and new options, along with Eudora and BBEdit scripts. PGP controlled distribution. Don't forget to take a look at our MacPGP Page.

Now updated through PGP Version 6.0.
• PGP for RedHat Linux
• ScramDisk 2.02h released on April 1, 1999. Scramdisk is a program that allows the creation and use of virtual encrypted drives. If you use PGPDisk, you are familar with this type of program. The author, talented programmer Sam Simpson, has taken this idea and made numerous improvements in it to create ScramDisk. While the idea is familar, the program is completely original and does not use any of the PGPDisk code. ScraDisk allows you to create a container file on an existing hard drive using one of the nine avaliable algorithms (blowfish is the default) which is created using andfprotected by a passphrase dialog box which allows a combination of up to four distinct passphrases. The container, which can be hidden as a .wav file (a neat use of steganography), can then be mounted by user or access provided through the use of revocable keys (so that the passphrases need not be disclosed). It is a free alternative to PGPDisk coded by the author of the PGP DH vs. RSA FAQ. Don't forget to get the extensive manual (in MS Word or Adobe format) on the site. It has many words of wisdom on using cryptographic software in addition to explaining how to safely use ScramDisk.
