Want to start encrypting my mail with GPG

Privacy is a lost cause when 99% of people don't give a shit about it.

Privacy is for people smart enough to deserve it.

at least you can still do signatures

>If you don't use [insert some proprietary flavor of the month encryption] you're not as smart as me!

GPG isn't proprietary.

>GPG
Just because it's free doesn't mean it's not proprietary.

>proprietary = bad
>GPG = bad
>GPG = bad = proprietary
>GPG = proprietary

lol

I meant that people who really want privacy know how to achieve that. If people can't be bothered to use simple tools, fuck them

Are you saying that you want an encryption system that you have to have a key to create it, but the receiver can read it without doing anything?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT YOU MADE MY DAY

I just ROT13 all of my emails, haven't been hacked yet but YMMV :^)

>rot13
>not using superior and simple XOR
ahah cuck

I challenge Sup Forums to explain step by step how gpg even works.

the puclic key encrypts a symetric key which encrypts the message ez

for RSA gpg two keys are generated public and private to do this we need to work out n which is p*q where p and q are large primes then theta n which is p-1*q-1 we select a prime number e between 1 < e < theta n now we calculate d which is 1/e mod theta n,

our public key is (e,n)
our private key is (d,n)

to encrypt a message we do (Message^e) mod n
to decrypt we do (Cipher^d) mod n

the only difference with gpg is it encrypts the message once then uses that value to generate a second key to do it again this is purely for additional scrambling

Hope that helps

no man rsa keys cant encrypt arbitrary length messages you need some block cipher

It's published under a venom license so no it isn't proprietary retard.

the fuck are you doing on Sup Forums

>look at me i pasted a joke i've read 10 years ago

>what is symmetric encryption

I thought that was assumed I don't actually know which block or stream cipher is used but the complex bit is the RSA not quite sure why people on g need these things explaining a quick Google would do

asymmetric encryption there are two different keys used

sure i guess,

> the only difference with gpg is it encrypts the message once then uses that value to generate a second key to do it again this is purely for additional scrambling

is wrong though

there's also no consistent, easily-used pgp implementation on windows

that was greentext
i know what symmetric encryption is
please read again and find out what you missed

>Privacy is a lost cause when 99% of people don't give a shit about it.
Just don't send emails to normies.
Problem solved.

>can't greentext

And how would you go about decrypting a hash?

Nigga, you... NIGGA YOU ARE DUMB AF

>Privacy is a lost cause when 99% of people don't give a shit about it.

Hah, that's funny the same thing can be said about Linux security.

Lunix secuirty is a fucking lost cause since 99% of the people run a distro without PaX/Grsecurity patches.

>not using otp and numbers relay pages

>flavor of the month encryption
>he never heard of gpg

Get out of here newfag, even Sup Forumstards are that retarded.
