GentleGPG Description
Similarly to sending a letter via the post office, encrypting your emails prevents anyone from reading your private communication. While it is true that they can intercept it, securing the message ensures that if it ends up in the wrong hands, that person is not able to view it.
GentleGPG is an application designed to help you encrypt your emails so that you can be assured that the message you want to send only reaches the dedicated recipient.
Requires some patience to configure
First off, you should know that it is recommended you read the installation instructions and follow the steps as instructed, as otherwise there is a fair chance the app does not run properly. Moreover, you should make sure the backup for the key file is stored to an external disk.
While initially, the program seems pretty straightforward, the truth is that you need to configure it in order to reap the encryption benefits it comes with. For instance, if you want to include a signature verification to your message, then you need to modify a parameter value from the param.txt file.
Enables you to send PGP encrypted messages
The strong point of the program stems from the fact you can send and receive messages that are secured under the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption. Not only is this encryption protocol difficult to crack, but you also have the guarantee that the information remains between you and the person you are sending or receiving emails from.
While PGP qualifies as hard encryption, you should know that it does not require special knowledge on your part to use it. In fact, thanks to the fact that it comes with an built-in key manager, you can create passkeys automatically.
An average tool for enhanced email privacy
Since it is not exactly an intuitive application, GentleGPG does not address users with limited computer skills. Then again, if you enjoy spy movies and want a taste of that lifestyle, then GentleGPG might be the utility you need for sending private messages and emails.
