Now a days you have to be careful to send your mails around the world totally unsigned and unencrypted. Not only the bad terrorists or hackers are reading your mail but also every police on this earth. To be sure that only the authorized person can read the message you can use pgp to encrypt the message. Another advantage is that you can sign the message so that the person who receives it can be sure that this mail is yours and it wasn’t modified.

In the past I used to sign my email with my private digital signature. However in the last few month I switched to another mail program and up to now I didn’t install the plugin to use my pgp key. Today I found a very nice howto for pgp under osx with the apple mail program. The only problem with this instruction is that it’s written in german.

Public key:
