I'm new to knoppix, and would like to know if it is possible to encrypt certain files on my desktop with a password. The thing is I'm Emailing these files about a client that MUST be inexessible by anyone besides the person I'm sending it to, (who knows what the password will be)
Thanks in advance,
Troyes
So what does it do, exactly? Does it encrypt a file in such a way that only two people can view/edit it?
Thanks.
Yes it is a very powerful encryption package. It is not easy but there are tutorials & guides out there for GPG. Google should be helpful in locating those.
Here is one such guide that shows how to use it with emails on Linux & windows. http://dudu.dyn.2-h.org/nist/gpg-enigmail-howto
You've been vrey helpful.
Thanks,

Oh yes, is it possible to make GPG copatible with Gmail?
Looks like it can be done. All I'm doing is dumping keywords into google, http://www.google.com/search?q=encry...il&btnG=Search

Gmail S/MIME provides Firefox users with S/MIME support for Gmail. S/MIME support is integrated directly into Google's Gmail web interface. Reading and sending of encrypted mail is supported. Verification of signatures is not currently supported. There are some interoperability and performance issues which I plan to iron out in later releases.
