    Secure Email

    What is the best way to send private information to a non-secure site via email?

    Use PGP. It is software that will encrypt your email and it is free. http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/

    The email will look like gibberish to anyone but the person you are sending it to. You do have to do some on key exchange. Thanks!

    Yay! Thanks for that link. I couldn't find the free version on that site for the life of me.

    Sorry, here is a better site at MIT: http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html

    I downloaded some time ago and forgot the link. The old one was a simple google search and I did not know that it was out of country. Thanks!
