Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)

PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy, and is a method of encryption you can apply to scripts that run on your web site along with the e-mail you send through it. PGP is software that you buy over the counter or on the web. Using this software, you generate your own PGP encryption “key”. You must do this before you can make use of the PGP option in the Control Panel.

The PGP option in the Control Panel performs two functions:

1. It provides you with instructions for using PGP on the web server on which your site resides, AND

2. It allows you to add or delete your PGP key from that server.

From the Control Panel, select the PGP icon. The PGPMail Public Key Management page displays.

Any public keys that you install will be listed under the section PGPMail public key list on subsequent visits to this page.

Follow the instructions on the page for adding your PGPMail public key.

You should review the PGPMail information to learn more about using PGP mail in your forms.
