Your rating: Now say why...
PGPFreeware... PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a powerful encryption tool for use with e-mail programs, as well as for encrypting files locally. Using PGP, you can ensure that no unintended recipient reads your e-mail messages. Users create two different keys--a private and a public key--to ensure that email is always from a valid sender, and that the recipient is the valid recipient. Interoperable with PGP 7.x and older, and with GnuPG and other OpenPGP-compliant software.
Building on top of the solid PGP technology base, PGPFreeware 8.0 for Mac OS X features a completely new Cocoa-based user

- Full support for Mac OS X 10.2 (If you require Mac OS 9 support, you should obtain PGPFreeware 7.0.3. If you have Mac OS X 10.0 or 10.1, you need to upgrade to 10.2.1 or later.)
- Significantly expanded Unicode support
- PGP encryption and digital signature features are accessible as a Mac OS X service from Cocoa applications and Carbon applications that support services
- PGP features are also accessible from the PGP's Dock menu, providing a second ubiquitous method for accessing PGP

However it isn't as user friendly as it could be. PGP will probably frustrate anyone who doesn't like to read documentation. Definitely not for the non-technical user.

- I just noticed the Wipe function is broken for me under 10.4. It worked fine in 10.3.
- I meant to rate Ease of Use as 3, not 5.
Not that it matters. Looks like this variant of PGP isn't even available now. Instead you have to use the trial version, and it becomes crippled freeware after 30 days.

Three things to know:
1) Backup
2) Backup
3) Backup
if you'd have kept a backup of your keys as you should have, say, on a CD then you'd have no issue.
User error has ultimately been the culprit if you "lost" some keys.

This site rates the security level of MD5 and RSA as "high" and "military grade". Both is simply not true.
And to those who think PGP is secure:
Do you really believe, that the U.S. government, allows terrorists to communicate securely via PGP?

Again, asuming that you use good passphrases and do you homework. This site has some good info for those concerned.

But if my computer got stolen I don't want some punks reading my datas. PGP Freeware can secure a computer, that's pretty good privacy ;-)
