<< You have to pass the crypto keys by hand otherwise the
security falls over at that point anyway. If you phone or
email it, everyone can know it. >>
If you use PGP, you generate a private key (which you keep) and a public key
(which you can freely email out to all and sundry). To decrypt a message,
you need both keys and a password. To send a message, you need to know the
public key of the person to whom you're sending the message (which the
recipient will make freely available also).
No use for mass mailings, but fine for messages to few intended recipients.
PGP is free and also has other uses, e.g. secure, compressed storage on your
hard drive.
