Engaging Newbies In Email Encryption and Network Privacy

reifman writes: All six parts of my series introducing beginners to PGP encryption and network privacy are now freely available. I hope it's useful for Slashdot readers to share with their less-technical acquaintances. There's an introduction to PGP, a guide to email encryption on the desktop, smartphone and in the browser, an introduction to the emerging key sharing and authentication startup, Keybase.io, and an intro to VPNs. There's a lot more work for us to do in the ease of use of communications privacy but this helps people get started more with what's available today.

When activists like Moxie Marlinspike are calling for the end of PGP, it's probably time to look into alternatives.

PGP's problems are endemic to its design. It cannot be fixed, and increased adoption won't help.
