Do you use Thunderbird? If so: sudo apt-get install enigmail If you use Evolution then GnuPG should be included by default. I've never used Evolution that much, so I can't help you there if that's the case. Then create a keypair, and upload it to some keyservers. I've downloaded the GPG keys of most of the people who have them from Trisquel (but they are set as "Untrusted" because I haven't verified them properly yet). You can download people's keys from their webpages, or alternatively you can get their key ID (e.g. 0x9657B073) and search for it on a keyserver using the Enigmail GUI. Also, Wikipedia is your friend when it comes to cryptography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_third_party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keysigning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust Have fun. :-) Andrew.
