PGWhat?!
'On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.' At least so they
say.
Well if the dog is using PGP
he can prove his identity to you! PGP is a 'public
key' encryption/decryption and signing method among some
others. You might want to encrypt a message so that only the
adressee will be able to read it, or you might wan't to sign a
message to prove that you wrote it.

To read the signed message above you need:
- Version 5 or
above of the PGP-program or if you are using Linux, you will want the equivalent program called GPG (which

- Copy the message to your PGP-program and it will veify
that it was signed with the secret pair of my public key!
(Using Windows this can be done by selecting the message
above and then copying it to the clipboard. Then click on
the 'PGPTray'-icon on the right side of the taskbar and
choose 'Decrypt/Verify clipboard'.)
