gpg4usb is a very easy to use and small portable editor to encrypt and
decrypt any text-message or -file you want.

I mean no offense, but this seems like a really bad idea. Putting it on CD-ROM might be a pretty cool idea, but USB is just ... scary.

According to Vint Cerf, roughly one in five desktop PCs is already pwned by malware. Plug your USB token into three different computers and you've got 50/50 odds of your crypto hardware being plugged into a machine that's under the control of a malicious adversary who wants to use your USB token as an infection vector.

Our aim is, to give anyone the possibility to send and receive secure
encrypted messages anywhere - on any computer out there, no matter if
Microsoft Windows(TM) or Linux is running on it. Therefore it's usage is
self-describing, and the user-interface as simple as possible.

It's a great goal, but the way you're going about it makes me shiver.
