Introducing PGP

Now with 10× more PGP! 🔐

As of today my contact page references my public PGP key, which is also now included on the site.

Why PGP?

OpenPGP is a venerable standard for securing communications, predominantly email. It uses standard encryption and some smarts to make the world a more secure place.

Why anything?

Partly because privacy should be more a feature of our lives, and encryption is one way to provide that.

Partly, it is a hobbyist thing. PGP lets you collect signatures and apply vaguely esoteric technical knowledge with a theoretical benefit to society. In this respect, it’s strongly akin to HAM radio – I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a fair number of vocal PGP advocates are also HAMs.

Anyway, feel free to drop me a (secure) line.
