My public key

You can use my public key to encrypt an email message that contains sensitive information. Once you encrypt your message, no other person or entity between our two computers can read what you've written.

It's like sending postal mail inside a sealed envelope that's tamper-proof and tamper-evident, instead of writing on the back of a postcard that an intermediary can read without detection.

My public key is published below in two formats for your convenience, and the content of both formats is identical. You can either:

• download my key file and add it to your encryption software's keyring; or
• copy and paste the following block of text into your encryption software's key manager (copy all of it from the first dash to the last dash):

Either method will add my public key to your keyring, which enables you to encrypt and send me email that nobody but the two of us can read. If you also attach or refer me to your public key, I can then reply to your message with encrypted email that is equally impregnable to anyone but the two of us.
