From Glossary of "Weaving the Web" ( 1999-07-23) An e-mail security system that uses public key cryptography and has the philosophy that individuals can choose whom they trust for what purpose- the "web of trust." (Good link for the open source PGP stuff?)

A program which scrambles email in the transfer process and requires a password prior to unscrambling it.Protocol. Is how computers will act when talking to each other. Protocol definitions range from how bits are placed on a wire to format an electronic message. Standard Protocols allow computers from different manufacturers to communicate. PPP. Point to Point Protocol. A protocol that allows a computer to use the TCP/IP protocols with a standard telephone line and a modem. PPP is the new standard and replaces SLIP.RFC. Request for Comments.Relative links. A type of HTML link which is relative to the original document and which will remain usable even if the location of the linked documents change.

retty ood rivacy (PGP) is a computer program which provides cryptographic privacy and authentication.When used properly, PGP is believed to be capable of very high security. It is widely believed, within the cryptographic community, that — if anyone — only government agencies such as the NSA might be capable of directly breaking properly produced, PGP-protected, messages. However, to the best of publicly available information, there is no known method for any entity to break PGP by cryptographic, computational means regardless of the version being employed. In 1996, cryptographer Bruce Schneier characterized an early version as being "the closest you're likely to get to military-grade encryption" (Applied Cryptography, 2nd ed., p587).

A flavor of algorithmic encryption that uses two cipher keys, one public and one private. Anyone can use a public key to send a scrambled message to the receiving party. The private key is then used only by the receiving party to unscramble incoming messages. The two-key system was developed by RSA Data Security, Inc. and PGP is the most popular type of two-key encryption available for public, non-commercial use.

A data encryption/deciphering system that uses two digital "keys" (similar to passwords) to protect messages or other information from being read by anyone other than the intended recipient.

Pretty Good Privacy. An encryption system which makes data sent on the Internet secure from unauthorized access.

PGP is the de facto standard for software encryption. It is available in a variety of versions, some of which can be downloaded for free from Web sites, others of which are sold commercially. Because it is so widely used, PGP is one of the most heavily cryptanalyzed encryption programs in the world. (This means that countless cryptographers and programmers have so far been unable to break it.) Check our reviews page for details.

The encryption software originally written by Phil Zimmermann and that provide a "Pretty Good Privacy"

A method of encrypting messages, such that they can only be read if the recipient applies the appropriate decryption method. Encryption and decryption relies on a combination of private ‘key’, known only to the sender and a ‘public’ key, known to the recipient. Since messages are encoded using cryptographic algorithms they are extremely difficult to decode if intercepted. Encryption is at the heart of secure electronic transactions (see SET). PGP was developed privately to overcome restrictions placed by US legislation on the export of encryption technology.
